At the dawn of the 1990s, New York was a city on the brink. Crime rates soared with over 2,200 murders per year, 93,000 violent robberies, and more than 500,000 annual felonies. Public confidence had plummeted, and many feared the city was beyond saving. Yet, against all odds, New York experienced a staggering comeback, fueled by strategic governance, economic reforms, and the tireless efforts of individuals committed to change.

Through twenty-six in-depth interviews, powerful archival footage, and immersive re-enactments, Gotham takes viewers deep into the action, offering a front-row seat to one of the most remarkable urban turnarounds in modern history. The documentary examines the legacies of six mayors who shaped New York during this transformative period, dissecting their policies on employment, public safety, and welfare.

This film goes beyond the numbers to highlight the human stories behind the city’s revival. It celebrates the unsung heroes—visionary leaders, law enforcement officers, policy makers, and everyday citizens—who refused to accept the status quo and took bold steps to restore New York’s greatness.

In an era of renewed challenges for major cities across the world, Gotham: The Fall and Rise of New York serves as a timely and thought-provoking reflection on how strategic leadership and resilience can redefine the future of an entire metropolis.
