The Tables
Rain or shine, they’ll be there
A short documentary film about the powerful connection between two outdoor ping-pong tables in the heart of New York City and the diverse community they’ve brought together – from homeless players to investment bankers to gang members. The Tables is a story about friendship, resilience, and the universal desire to belong.
