♪ hello, everybody. this is al jazeera america. john is off. boarder dispute, the president's plan to act without congress on immigration reform. we will talk to an activist that said she is undocumented and unafraid. it could set off show down with the white house. >> and who did it? question talked to the makers of a new
8:01 pm
documentary about the street artist behind the mask and what he or she is really up to. >> we begin tonight with a possible big proposal that could change the lives of thousands of undocumented immigrants. several reports say president obama is considering protecting town 5 million undocumented immigrants who would otherwise face deportation. the white house is denies the president has made an decisions still and proposal to gauge public sentiments and is stirring debate on both sides. i think two president should act boldly and i think he should act generously, and swiftly. i believe the blessings should be boutful when i break bread with my
8:02 pm
family. >> we are going to fight the president, tooth and nail, this is the wrong way to govern, this is what the american people said on election day they didn't want. >> millions of people who have much at stake when it comes to the immigration policy. jonathan bets is here with more. >> more people move here than by anyone else. overall there are more than 40 million immigrants in the u.s. or about 13% of the population was born somewhere else. more than 11 million people have come here illegally, it could protect more than half of them.
8:03 pm
followed by texas, florida, new york, and illinois. since 2005, these five states have had huge jumps in their immigrant population. that includes those here legally and illegally. jumping by nearly 80% on average. tennessee in fact saw the biggest spike there. it is a clear sign the country is becoming more diverse, and more places. jonathan reporting. she is a dreamer herself, she calls herself undocumented and unafraid. explain the t shirt, does that say obama deports dreamers? >> i just came from a rally, this is one of the shirts we wore -- just a
8:04 pm
reminder that he can do something for our parents as welt. >> you are a dreamer, who was saved by daca? >> it was -- yeah, it was a battle that we also fought really hard. the president also pushed back, and we were able to win it. so now that we have the great program that was able to help so many. that can be extended to folks like our parents and those who didn't qualify for the action. >> just to be clear, you can wear a shirt that says obama saves dreamers and that would also be accurate? >> the fact is that i am able to work now, i am able to have a social security number, but my mom was almost deported about two years ago. i was raided in my house, and to me, i don't consider myself saved i consider that question have fought really hard as dreamers for what we want.
8:05 pm
and noway are fighting hard so that our families are saved as we are. >> help us understand the criticism if there is any, given the reports out today, that he is considering what republicans would call amnesty for some 5 million illegal immigrants happen that would be a huge move. >> you know, i think for us, we are not going to claim any victory until we see actions. what happened today or yesterday, was a leak from whatever source, happened. that there's about 5 million people that could potentially be helped, we know and we have been pressuring the president to go big, and that means that he can do more than that. that legally, and under the constitution, he can at least do some of the folks -- the folks that would be under the senate bill that already passed the senate, so we have been asking the president, go big, he can do more than 5 million people. he can protect parents of u.s. citizens also parents of dreamers and
8:06 pm
folks that don't necessarily have children. do you acknowledge that he could also be impeached if they are so angry -- they have the votes in the house, as the republican majority, would you defend the president if say he goes with 5 millions and then gets impeached? >> i think right now, it's a matter of doing what is right. and doing what the entire country has agreed on. there's many polls that said that the american people agree that the undocumented should have a path to citizen ship. this is not a path to citizen ship, it would be a protection. but it is something that could lead to passing an immigration reform. so i think that republicans should be also looking at 2016. and acknowledging there will be consequences from the latino community. >> saying they will move forward, can the white
8:07 pm
house count on the la toon know community depending him in this. >> you flow what, we are going to ask the president to go bold. we ragone to give him some courage, and if he does what he should have done a long time ago, which is stop deportations we are going to support that he does that, and protect what we have. and we are going to make sure our community in 2016 knows who was with us and who wasn't with us. there has already been a president before, mit romney lost the election, and the latino community has a lot to do with that. >> and had a lot to do with the democrats doing horribly, because latinos stayed hope. there is a developing story about the white house fence jumper two months ago.
8:08 pm
an internal report reports to a series of problems that allowed an armed man to scale the fence and walk right into the front door. lisa? >> david, this is a report from the department of homeland security, and it says there were a series of failures that led to omar gonzales being able to get over the fence, and into the white house, on september 19th. first failure communications not everyone heard the radio communication that there was a fence jumper, and some of the alarms didn't work. another failure, as cinch a construction project, blocked the view some agents couldn't even see mr. gonzales running across the lawn. another failure, training. agents who did get up to him and decided not to fire. they didn't have train egg when to do in non-lethal situations. it turns out the canine officer was sitting in his van, in the van, in the drive way of the
8:09 pm
white house, but he was on a personal phone call. he had his radio out of his hear and his back up radio was in the locker. so all of this communicated to a series of failures that allowed omar gonzales to get up on the north port coe, then go through the unlocked doors. the guard inside hadn't heard the alarm, so she tried to close the doors and lock it, but it was too late. he got in and was tackled by an officer inside. so julia pearson who was the director of the secret service, lost her job over this incident. and this report will lead to a bunch of changes. what has been the reaction so far? >> benchny thompson who is the ranking member on homeland security did issue a statement, after
8:10 pm
reports of this after this report has come out, and he said while some of these problems can be attributed to resources, others are systemic. and indicative of secret service culture. and he said while some changes have been made, and have been addressed for imperative that the department of hope land security follows through on these and inch city taughts real reforms. of course, there has been talk before, after a number of scandals. we are hearing it again, but as you can see, members of congress are determined that this time around, the secret service will get it right. >> lisa stark reports thank you. the u.s. justice department is refusing to comment about a report that says the department has been scooping up data from thousands of cell phones according to the wall street journal. u.s. marshals are using devices called dirt boxes.
8:11 pm
the technology is intended to pick up cell phone information of criminal suspects but along the way, the justice department has been collecting information from thousands of innocence americans. tonight israel is trying to ease growing tenses in jerusalem over the mosque. they say they will lift all age restrictions. they use those restrictions to limit access to the mosque. the announcement came after a high wire diplomatic meeting. >> a rare meeting between the u.s. secretary of state john kerry and the last minute addition.
8:12 pm
i thought it was quite clear from the conversation this evening and from prior conversations which is why the prime minister traveled over here, that he has deep concerns as everybody does, about the -- what has been going on in the rise of violence. >> last week, jordan recalled it's ambassador to israel, and the jordanian daneian foreign minister said that was the right thing to do. >> as you know, there are several diplomatic options available to any country. to protest something they feel very strongly about. and this was a very clear cig minute to israel, that what has been happening in the mosque compound, particularly over the last few weeks is not acceptable. to jordan not acceptable to 1.5 billion muslims. >> the first concrete step kerry referred to came from israel.
8:13 pm
restrictions it has imposed on and off for years kerry also met with palestinian president on thursday, in an effort to diffuse tensions in jerusalem and the occupied west bank, but he was not at the meeting kerry and the king. p urn the 20-year-old peace treaty, israel recognizes jordan's special role in looking after shrines in jerusalem. but jordan says it's been undermined by israel. >> jordan is fighting in iraq and syria alongside the u.s., it is also one of only two countries in the region that have peartreesties with israel. washington cannot afford to have two of it's closest allies in the middle east in disagreement it is not intended to resolve the conflict to provide any long time justice or security, it is just enough to stabilize the
8:14 pm
situation, so the united states can continue with it's other initiatives. >> it took u.s. mediation to sort out jordan and israel differences. nit tin yahoo that the status quo will not be touched and may lead assurances in person. >> top pentagon officials say the u.s. military air war against isil is about to pick up steam. and the defense department says the administration will consider putting come back troops on the ground. today the defense secretary urged congress to approve a white house request for billions more in funding the fight isil. david, in their appearance before the armed committee, they asked for more time, patience, and of course, money.
8:15 pm
after the united states spent more than ten years and $25 billion training and equipping forces that fled in the face of militants the question on the minds of members of the house service committee is how will another $1.6 billions and 3,000 u.s. advise evers make any difference. >> i am asking what is the difference in the men, of the iraqi men, that we have in the forbess there. in making a difference, not running acquire from the battle. >> the answer says defense secretary, is that the new iraqi government will have to prove to it's troops it's worthy of defending. look, you don't think we would be out there swinging and fighting if we didn't have the support of the congress of the united states and the kind of support that the american public provide to our men and women? so question k. hold them to a higher standard, that just simply didn't exist.
8:16 pm
>> legal points to the house cleaning just announced by the new prime minister who sacked three dozen commander whose were widely seen as incompetent cronies. >> men and women will not fight if they do not have confident in their leaders. >> dempsey says it will take at least 80,000 troops, three competent divisions to recapture the key northern city, and the rest of the iraqi territory lost to isil. and even then, hen world cupses there will be many set backs. >> i would describe it this way, three steps forward, two steps back, and at every step forward or back, we'll debate about the size of the step. >> they ruled out any combat role, which chairman dismissively called a minimalist strategy. how can you execute the mission you have been given, to degrade and ultimately destroy isil.
8:17 pm
when some of your best options are taken off the table. >> the strategy is iraq first and then syria, it admits it has fewest options where it not only wants to defeel isil, that will result in the removal of power bashir al asaad. today the group released what it says is a 17 minute speech, he lashes out at president obama's plan to send more soldiers to iraq, as the first time he has been heard from since records he was wounded in an air strike on saturday. it is not clear when the speech was taped. >> . >> nick chef ron has that story.
8:18 pm
>> down a bumpy road, just a few feet from the border we set out for the source of income. our guide, a 22-year-old female smuggler, her tours her marks for oil. in a discreet hotel room, we see how isil recruits. our recruiter is a 27-year-old i.t. expert, keyboard and mouse, to post a facebook and twitter. >> over cups of tea. >> we learn how isil is organizationed, our expert as syrian once employed as an isil sales man. >> isil took over factories. they needed civilians that weren't connected to them, i helped sell the products. >> three people show how the management organization, and wealth are all depend on foot soldiers whose main
8:19 pm
motivation was income they work for a self-declared state, that may fly the flag of islam, but as it's heart is corporate. >> also al jazeera joins us now from jerusalem, in your story you go in depth about how isil is making it's money by smuggling oil, is it still very easy. >> already so many people that have lived on that border, that have been smuggling across it for three years. some of these families tell me they have been smuggling for 20 or 30 years so there is no way despite whatever turkey is doing, and they are trying, no matter what they try, they will stop that smuggling. what is also happening they say that isil oil is
8:20 pm
being sold to each other, without even getting to turkey. people will line up and collect gas from isil. isil fighters themselves. they are cheap for syrian resident who is have a huge need, and they pocket the money. so it is extremely difficult to take away that source of funding. unless you target the actual refineries, u.s. officials have said they might be willing to consider that, or that are might have to, but so far they haven't. >> have the attacks effected them from raising money in any fashion. >> isil has been pushed basically to a standstill at certain front lines. northwest syria, around baghdad, but ultimately, the funding is still there, and that is why it is simply so hard to actually unseat aisle and take away the space that
8:21 pm
it now governs. look, the space that they now have, is the size of belgium. of they have the same population living under them that lives in new york city, this is something that is not going anywhere. they have a lot of money, and the air strikes simply aren't fluff, ard cooing to the u.s.' allies inside of syria the president of the coalition, syrian coalition, these are the people who are allied with the u.s., they say that the air strikes aren't hitting the right targets. that the strategy isn't good enough, and there's no coordination on the ground. and they say they are being overrun by the syrian government as well as an al quaida linked group, they say they need a lot more help, and targets air strikes and even perhaps help on the ground. the u.s. hasn't been willing to do that, to hit the spots where you can hit isil targets and then behind which with the moderate opposition
8:22 pm
can come in they say they simply haven't gotten that coordination. >> nick, thank you, you can see the full report on america tonight, at the top of the hour, at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. up next, a lot of people want change, in ferguson missouri, but many residents there don't turn out to vote, and they didn't in the last midterms we will take a closer look. plus, the keystone excel pipeline is now at the center of debate in washington, we will exam the chances of the controversial project actually gets approved.
8:24 pm
implore law enforcement to exercise reasonable restraints when dealing with demonstrators. there have been too many reports of excessive behavior and agitation by police officers. after the profests in ferguson,ar can american leaders hoped for a large voter turn out, but participation in the political process fell short of expectations. the latest new from usher good evening david, within days of those protests erupting a number of civic groups tried to push voter registration numbers. in an attempt to get them to vote at the molls. >> i will meet every desire that your heart has. >> charles davis and his wile opened the doors to their new restaurant on august 8th. just juan day before the fatal shooting of michael brown.
8:25 pm
their commitment remains unwaiving. >> besides my faith, i have trust in the people of ferguson. >> what he does not have faith is the ability to promote change no matter how many people come out and vote, nothing will change if the infrastructure that is counting the votes feels the same. >> still a clipboard with registration forms sits on his counter. >> you can always hope, right. >> the protests revealed racial tension and deep diestruses. 40 but so far that disinstruction hasn't translated to higher numbers at the ballot box. >> given the unrest, it was the hopes that perhaps this was would encouraging people to come out and voice their opinion in fact, while the number of register voters topped 4,000, only
8:26 pm
22% came out in the midterms. turn out in the last municipal elections here, was even more dismal. they are proving they are disillusions with the system. >> missouri state representative says voters felt disenfranchised by a lack of engangment. >> give them a reason to believe the system can work for them. do more than just talk on tv, go and new york on doors. and i think the community hasn't seen that, so that's given the people a lot of reasons not to go to the polls. as the community braces for a grand jury decision, some whether the outcome can aggravate an already fractures elect story rate. >> david, while voter
8:27 pm
turn out was very low, still some had hopes that the possibly the turn out would be better come april when the municipal elections are coming around, when many have a chance to vote for people that have a direct impact on their lives here. >> live in ferguson missouri, thank you. >> up next, amazing pictures from the historic comment landing but there's a potential problem that could jeopardize the mission. and farmers are beating the drought by raising crops indoors. the science behind it.
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
got back to work today. and the keystone excel oil pipeline. was late edition to the agenda, when can we expect votes? the house tomorrow and the senate likely tuesday. but whether the keystone excel pipeline will soon become a reality is far from certain. >> let's debate, is vote, let's get the work done. >> known for grid lock, democrats and republicans are working together. republicans upcoming votes on the excel pipeline are a direct result of the midterm elections. you have summer the majority.
8:31 pm
decide to have a vote they have been blocking for years. >> it was held up by both sides. but that is the actual truth the politics of both sides. >> landrieus says she can get the 60 votes needed to pass in the senate next week, but other head counts have the outcome still up in the air. over in the house, passage is certain. >> the house will vote tomorrow, to build the keystone pipeline, and hopefully the senate will pass as well. this is a vote to lower energy costs and create more american jobs. >> but many house democrats are dismayed at friday's vote. caucus chair says the pipeline will be bad for the environment. and he says legislation is moving too fast.
8:32 pm
>> the bill was sprung on us. this is not the way you handle legislative policy where all of a sudden a bill comes before you for consideration and debate. >> the white house spokesman gave them hope. >> i think it is fair to say that our dim view of these kind of proposals has not changed. but roaches have a plan if they shut them down. >> if he vetoes it we will have the ability to bring it back or maybe an appropriations measure. >> republicans want to know now exactly what the president plans to do. bub they may have to wait until after congress abouts to find out. now, david, domes aren't the only ones flying a lifeline to one of their own.
8:33 pm
and he is locked in a fierce senate run off, down in louisiana, with mary landrieu. so both of them plan to go home and take credit for the keystone pipeline. alana shore, the oil and gas reporter. correct me if i'm wrong, but they have always supported the keystone pipeline, right? >> that's true. david. pretty much every republican always has been in favor. and mary landrieu is from an oil patch state. >> well, back in louisiana, cassidy has been hammering her, over the fact that until election day, she was chair of the energy committee in the senate, and this was her number one issue yet her own leaders wouldn't give her
8:34 pm
time for a vote. >> now yoko see that she was on the last leg, polls show her down in this run off. and democrats having already lost the majority, figures what the heck, why don't we just give it to her. maybe it can help save herself. >> we heard in a piece there, the white house says it has a dim view, the president and the state department are still apparently considering whatter this going to do when are we expecting a decision. >> you mean on this bill or the pipeline. we will expect a veto word as soon as tomorrow. at which point they will let us know whether it is ironclad, or perhaps has some wiggle room.
8:35 pm
there's currently a court case pending there is preventing him from making the final word. >> do they really need these oil reserves that would come through the pipeline? >> well, that's the most interesting question right now. because oil is plummeting. it reached $75 a barrel. this is a four year low. and that leaves a lot of people to ask why are we debating keystone, this is very expensive oil, part of the reason why it is such a high priority for canada and the u.s. industry, but oil is so cheap. that's a major aspect of this debate. >> what's been the answer from the proponents of the pipeline? >> in america we are just
8:36 pm
swimming in oil, but it is very very light. that's why canada still thinks this pipeline can go. >> and canada is pushing for it as well. do you have a gut sense as to what the president is going to do? in terms of the pipeline? i will say this, it is true that the pipeline has support. if you really see major threats to other aspects. keystone is a bit of an easy call then, now it is easy to veto. >> thank you for coming on we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> president obama met with the leader of maya mar today.
8:37 pm
the president is visiting the country on the second leg of his week long trip to asia. he asked the president to hold inclusive elections next year. he says he is optimistic about the future, but acknowledged that change is hard. there were dualing accusations from russia and ukraine about violations in the two month cease fire. the united states also stepped in to warn moscow over what the obama administration called military eggs collation the ukrainian government and the united nations fear a new rebel offensive is in the works. >> stephen cone is -- and a contribute ever editor the nation magazine. great to have you with. what to you make of it. >> i have to put it in context, or the context i see. we are in a new cold war
8:38 pm
with russia, that's a fact. we are in a proxy war as well, supporting the eastern rebels we are supporting the kiev government. and when you get a cold war, you get hot air. you get all sides including my own country, putting out information that we can't take at face value. so at the moment, you have claimed being made, in washington, d.c., kiev, brussells, where nato is, and moscow. each presenting the other side as menacing and threatening. you have to sort it out. >> an al jazeera reporter and security and cooperation, both confirmed there's a heavier troop presence now in eastern ukraine, who is russia after. >> they confirm a heavier troop presence. >> yes. >> the rebels say, i am not saying but i am giving you the report that they are redeploying troops already there,
8:39 pm
because kiev is prime minister preparing a flu assault. now we have reports out of kiev and out of washington that in fact kiev is prepaying a new assault. so we would expect rebels to be moving their troops. if anyone is preparing a new war, it is so dangerous, because it raises the possibility that united states and russia will be drawn in. what does russia want? i am 100%, if you meet putin, they want this to end. >> if they do want it to end, what do you think the conversation went like between putin and obama in beijing when they had their few conversations there? >> would chilly be the right word, hostile, what makes it worse, because great powers don't rely only on their leaders. the fact that these two don't respect each other, i would even say putin
8:40 pm
has contempt for obama and obama had contempt for putin. the difference is obama has vizzed his contempt. and obama goes into that steelly mode that we tend to mock. but the reality is we have very close to war, and the responsibility for that is in the happens of those two guys whether they like it or not. >> the contempt that the leaders in these countries have for one another, is that also in evidence with the announcement that it is going to fly long distance aerial reconnie sans all the way to the caribbean? what are the motivations here? >> well, it is petty, it is reckless, it is provocative and dangerous. we have already had a shoot down in ukraine, of a jetliner carrying 300 nearly 300 innocent people. these kinds of games played in the air, and sometimes under the water in submarines maybe are
8:41 pm
not old enough, but i remember them from the last cold war, both sites did it, and one sign is that both sides including our side are doing it now. we are. havebleing nato troops all around eastern europe. >> on the moving comment for a first time, now the decade long $2,000,000,000.4 billion- mile mission can be cut short because of a shadow.
8:42 pm
jake, whats the lassie's where exactly is it? >> well, david, that is the $2 billion question right now. >> but was more like a trampoline in the words of one scientist that rock you see there is very porous, and just bounced right back, so it bounced about a kilometer away from where they intended it to land. here is the landing director talking about the distance that it traveled. it's original target where where it wound up, here is what he said. >> this is the landing site, and we hit this. we then less than 100-meter from the really projected point.
8:43 pm
and than we did this huge jump. something like this somewhere in this area. >> so is problem is they are now almost vertical. the craft is almost entirely upright, and as a result, it isn't getting as much sunlight as it needs. it is in a shot doe, they were hoping six to seven hours of sunlight, they are only getting about 90 minutes. that means the battery is going to die. so scientists are absolutely scrambling right now, to try to grab as much data as they can before it dies. >> jake, is there answer capability to move it into a better position. >> well, the reports this hour is that they are not going to try to intentionally move it. there was discussion earlier today about doing so, but they have decided
8:44 pm
that is too rickie, so instead they are going to go in a sending order of risk, when it comes to the instruments onboard. they are going to use the ones that don't touch the grandniece, and then as the battery draws they are going to get more reckless and try to use the drill. they are going to use a sensor that drilled out a piece of the come met, reads it, if they can do that they will suddenly really be tasting sort of scratching some of the original ingredients of water on our plane net. maybe eso we are just hoping that they do get the chance to do that. be uh in doing so because it is so -- they are going go go ahead and try to get it done thank you we appreciate it. if there are two things back on earth that a farmer needs to be
8:45 pm
successful, it would be sunlight and land. but a pair of new commercial farms in the chicago area seem to be doing fine without them. sometime mother nature is a apartmenter's worst enemy. >> if we don't get rain we are in dire strikes. >> three years another drought have forced growers to lead 400,000 acres unplanted. but robert founder of green sense farms isn't worried about mother nature. that's because he raises his crops here. by growing crops in warehouses indoor farmers say they can bring fresh local produce from farm to table in places like this, in as little as 24 hours. >> what are some of the
8:46 pm
major advantages of indoor farming in. >> we take weather out of the equation. every day is consistent, and it's the same. so we always get perfect plants every day. >> green sense farms opened it's doors in may, and already it is supplying 1,000 cases of produce a month to stores and restaurants. that pink glow as a result of one of the major invasions, minute than 3,000 red and blue grow lights. how plants use sun lite, carbon dioxide and water, it turns out they don't need the whole spectrum to do they just need certain colors. >> these are specially made to really nail photo sin think sis for the plant. it occurs at those two wave lents. what we are down is saying here is the lite
8:47 pm
that you really like. touch these lights. feel how cool they bunch. >> yeah, they aren't nor hot. >> they don't generate a lot of heat, and you can put them closer to the plant, and we can stack trays tighter. we have ten levels we can probably geoff 15. >> phil, great to see how, you big of an industry is this? how many commercial farms are there in the united states. >> right now it is a very new industry. there's only a hand full of these. but if you look at the you remember facial recognitioning industry that paves the way, there's a lot of them, which is the marijuana industry. i find it fascinating a lot of the technology they use came from marijuana. >> are there other advantages besides taking the weather out of the equation. >> absolutely, for one thing they are using 98% less water because they
8:48 pm
8:51 pm
the striking images. if you haven't heard that name before, he has been call add performer, a prankster, even a social critic, still there's more consensus over what he is, than who he is. or she is. it's been captured in a new documentary entitled banksy does new york. >> first time we saw work in a seemless fashion, where he would put out this cryptic message, which made like a treasure hunt where you needed to go and find something in a part of the city you had never been in before. >> he would pull thing, and then #the banksy
8:52 pm
phenomena. how to find things via social media. >> every day a fresh work will be unveiled nobody knows where or when. >> he does new york debuts on hbo on monday joining us now are the two film makers, welcome to you both, and congratulations. let's start with you, you decided to create a film more on the reaction. >> yeah, trying to take him is nearly impossible, and it wasn't as interesting as the interest. >> do you think the social media impact is what drove him in the first place. >> yeah, the idea for him to use -- to broadcast his pieces on a daily based create add phenom nan overnight.
8:53 pm
and basically, create add chain reaction. he'd post something first thing in the morning and all the fans and followerring remost that over and over again, and tell each other where the piece is were you surprised by the reaction. >> no. i was surprised be i the breadth of work, it is close to impossible. and so for him to do that communicate all the work on a daily basis a huge june taking. chris that planning made it awfully interacting. >> he is a street artist, and the way it plays out is online. it is a public space.
8:54 pm
let's watch. >> they don't everybody know who the artist is. >> did he intend for people to take his work. >> i think so. there's a precedent for him doing this type of residency, and he has seen the effects in the past. that wasn't tied down that piece in particular, and i think the reaction, and people trying to steal the piece is built into the project. >> now the film is mostly user generated, tell us how that works? >> we were contacted by h, beo, contacted us towards the end of the month, so all the work has already been put on business play. a normal crew would have one or two cameras and
8:55 pm
following us afternoon, so we had to access social media, so instead of having one or two, we all of a sudden has thousands. it became a way for us to clap rate. >> and you had to use crowd sourcing really to put it together. >> absolutely. this is a film made in new york by new yorkers. now based on the crowd sourcing and the number who participate what was the biggest surprise? i think the relationships that form afternoon the pieces are interesting and that's something we heard time and again. but also the way the pieces brought certain new yorkers together there are people that stole the piece, and the gal layerist that want to buy it to bring it to auction. so there are all these relationships that are tomorrowing around the
8:56 pm
