The documentary 'Secret Mall Apartment' chronicles the hidden life of Michael Townsend and seven other artists who constructed a secret living space inside the Providence Place mall. Beginning as a response to the city's gentrification, this clandestine apartment became a symbol of resilience. Featuring interviews and original footage, the film illustrates the evolution of these artists' lives as they transformed their environment into a hidden refuge, juxtaposing the stark changes in the urban landscape following the demolition of Fort Thunder artists' commune.
"We were like a 'barnacle on a whale,' explains artist Michael Townsend of the secret apartment he and several collaborators created in the early 2000s."},{
