Overview

The streets of Brooklyn in the 1970s were a wonderland for kids like Matty “Square” Ruggiero and his pack of neighborhood buddies, a tight-knit group known as the Union Street Boys. In this vibrantly animated documentary, the colorful oral histories of these five childhood friends are told with warmth and nostalgia, recalling a time in American urban culture when outdoor imaginative play was boundless and community meant everything.
