Experiencing Interruptions?

OPEN SPACE; Life At Cambridge's Danehy Park

Open spaces bring us together. Differences disappear. People are more accepting of each other. There’s a feeling of safety. Nature provides what we need and helps us become a better version of ourselves.

Filmed over several months, OPEN SPACE is about Cambridge's Danehy Park and the people who frequent it. The park’s uses are as varied as the folks that come here; a welcome reminder of our city’s astonishing multiculturalism.
