The Hall of Giants: The Story of Fremont and the Troll

The Hall of Giants - The Story of Fremont and the Troll is a documentary about the creation and endurance of one of Seattle's most beloved icons - a giant troll statue erected under a bridge in Fremont (one of the city's oldest and most artistic neighborhoods). Through frank interviews, archival footage and rare photographs, this film explores the lives and times of those who produced the Troll and demonstrates how public art can help define and revitalize urban spaces in unique and affective ways. It's also a cautionary tale about neighborhoods and entire cities growing estranged from the cultural and artistic roots that once established them, and as such it's a story that should resonate with viewers from all walks of life.
