"The Society" Demolition

This is a short clip from a feature-length documentary I've been filming for a few months now and will be continuing on until September, '09. It's about the Saint Alfio Society, a group of Italian men in Lawrence, Massachusetts who have been putting on a three-day festival every Labor Day for the past 85 years honoring three Sicilian saints. "The Society" follows this group for one year as they prepare for their 86th feast while simultaneously tearing down their old headquarters to build a new one in the midst of a severe economic recession.
