In Complete World is a feature length documentary shot on the streets of New York City. The artist asks people of different ages, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds questions ranging from "Are you satisfied?" and "Is there equal opportunity?" to "Do you vote?" and "Are we responsible for our government?" The outcome is a group speculation on the struggles of everyday life and the pull between individual and collective responsibility. In turn heartbreaking, scathing, and still somehow hopeful, In Complete World can be seen as a user’s manual for citizenship in the 21st century, as well as a window into where a diverse group of Americans find themselves at this current moment in time.
