NYC PREMIERE Debra Granik’s forthcoming limited series Conbody vs Everybody is at once a story of the school-of-tough-knocks education of a charismatic ex-con, Coss Marte, as he tries to rebuild his life, and a portrait of the teeming life and energy of New York City’s Lower East Side, captured with the authenticity of atmosphere that only master artists such as Granik can locate. Filmed over eight years, the series follows formerly incarcerated people as they slip in and out of Coss’s life and his business, each of them fascinating and magnetic on screen. DOC NYC presents episodes one and two of the five-part series back-to-back, shown to the public for the first time since their launch at Sundance earlier this year. – Jaie Laplante
