Were you a mall rat in the ’80s or ’90s? Then this documentary will hit hard.
Secret Mall Apartment is the unbelievable true story of eight artists who secretly built and lived in a hidden apartment inside the Providence Place Mall in Rhode Island—for four years.

Snuck-in furniture. A cinderblock wall. Mall electricity. It sounds like a prank, but it was something more: a rebellious art project, a refuge, and a creative protest against gentrification.

🎬 Directed by Jeremy Workman and executive produced by Jesse Eisenberg, this documentary blends archival footage and interviews to explore what happens when art, space, and resistance collide.

Jesse Eisenberg even referenced the film on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and Ken Burns called it "insightful, funny, and profound."
