Watch: New York Filmmakers Document the Damage on the Rockaway Coast and Ask for Help (VIDEO)

Structured around the defeated voicemail message left from a friend who lived in the area, the New York-based filmmakers Alex Braverman and Poppy de Villeneuve have made a beautifully tragic video of the damage Hurricane Sandy has caused on the coast of Queens on the Rockaways.

In the YouTube information for the film, the filmmakers point viewers to the sites for the Occupy movement's response efforts, the Red Cross and a Rockaways-specific help site.
