"Paper and Glue" is a documentary on the French artist JR and some of his "community-based" arts projects. It's been in theaters, has won a number of film festival awards etc.("Paper & Glue: A New Documentary Follows JR Through Some of His Most Iconic Projects," Colossal).
I didn't know about it being broadcast, but caught some of it Friday night, the portion on his public art project, painting portraits of community members of the
Morro da Providência favela in Rio de Janeiro (
The story of cities #15: the rise and ruin of Rio de Janeiro's first favela."
Guardian), on the favela's hillside buildings ("
The house that JR built (and then rebuilt!)," Phaidon).
It's being rebroadcast tonight on MSNBC, at 10 pm and midnight EST.
It's also available from NBC but you have to download their app.
