In this mockumentary, internationally acclaimed artists Brado and Rachelle-Jeannette leave the city behind to embark on a controversial new creative venture in America's heartland.  Residents of tiny Angola, Indiana react in diverse ways as the French artists install "paprika-colored gates" in a park in the middle of town.  "The Gates: Angola" stars a cast of colorful local residents, including the town's real mayor!
