In February 2005, Christo and Jeanne–Claude created a site-specific masterpiece in Central Park, New York City — a piece of art that not only inspired the mind, but touched the soul.
For 16 days, over 7,500 "gates" of bright saffron-colored fabric stretched along more than 23 miles of pathway, brightening the bleak winter landscape and like a river of gold.
This documentary follows the temporary life of "The Gates" from inception through installation, enjoyment, and finally disassembly.
