“Covered Tracks” is an experimental documentary exploring the Freedom Tunnel, a fifty-block long train tunnel underneath Manhattan's Upper West Side.

This dark portrait is structured around the phases of life and hurtles down active train tracks, past decades-old graffiti and the ruins of an underground homeless city.









The Freedom Tunnel was built by Robert Moses in the 1930's, and once housed a huge homeless population.

Today it is deserted, with children playing in a park overhead as trains thunder through the wreckage below.

"Covered Tracks" is a gritty portrait of this beautiful and rarely seen part of New York City.














“Covered Tracks” was produced and edited
by Nathan Kensinger and Meghan O'Hara.

Over the last 8 years, they have collaborated on numerous documentaries. To create "Covered Tracks" they filmed for one year, pushing a homemade dolly down miles of train tracks.

"Covered Tracks" was directed and shot by Nathan Kensinger and was inspired by his photographic explorations along New York's industrial waterfront, which can be seen here.
