DocuClub Presents: My Brooklyn
A work-in-progress screening followed by discussion with the filmmakers Kelly Anderson and Allison Lirish.
Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
Kelly Anderson’s documentary My Brooklyn chronicles the dramatic changes that have occurred in Downtown Brooklyn over the past 10 years and shows how these changes are not natural, but fueled by public policy.
The film documents how an obsession with upscale environments driven by the Wall Street bubble is threatening the very economic, racial and ethnic diversity and neighborhood character that have historically drawn many generations to Brooklyn and made it unique. This process has led to a fierce battle over the soul of the city, the themes of which resonate with urban communities across the county.
Tickets: $8
