Fly on the Wall
A film by Jenny Montasir
Fly on the Wall follows artist Marna Chester as she speaks with shop owners in Brooklyn neighborhoods where there is less access to healthy food. Her mission: to hang a poster she designed that promotes healthy eating. Marna’s local, grassroots effort sparks conversations that expose deeply-rooted problems within the larger food system.
Fly on the Wall documents shop owners’ reactions to a poster that boasts a heaping plate of fresh food and the slogan “Feed your family right! Healthy can be affordable!” Shot on two days, two weeks apart, the flick captures the immediate realities of bodega business as well as the change that hanging a simple poster in a store window can bring about.
