content: Original footage includes multiple interviews with Ringgold and footage of her working in her studio on the commissioned quilt about Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Extensive location footage shot in Crown Heights is found along with interviews with local people about Crown Heights. Footage of Ringgold and Crown Heights are referred to in notes and transcripts as first, second, and third shoots and so are described as such in the container listing. An additional interview is found with art historian Robert Farris Thompson, who hosts the program. Transcripts are present for all original footage.

Production material includes multiple third-party documentaries and clips on immigrants and historical Brooklyn used as source material in Freeman's documentary, printed material about Crown Heights, as well as various script drafts and edits.

The finished documentary is found in both a long and a short version.
