Strikingly artful and profoundly human, The Fourth Kingdom offers a powerful deep-dive into a very unique and particular type of environment and existence.
Documenting the day to day lives of a group of illegal immigrants in a recycling centre on the outskirts of New York, The Fourth Kingdom compassionately studies this ragtag collection as they grapple with a burgeoning disappointment in the American dream whilst finding comfort in one another through their shared journey and struggles.
A film where the action is in its interactions, this enthralling documentary is rich and gentle in its powers of observation, providing a portrait of human life that is both understated and essential.
