This documentary tells the story of how Mil Mundos, the first bilingual bookstore of East Bushwick, became a mutual aid hub and a safe space for their neighbors during the early days of the pandemic, changing the course of its operations. We follow the day-to-day activities of this Bushwick coop and its members' relationships to the space that informs the core of their community-making.
