FILM SCREENING & DISCUSSION
Description:
No single event will have a more drastic and long-lasting impact on Brooklyn than the proposed Atlantic Yards development. This uncommon proposal, however, is largely misunderstood. Brooklyn Matters is an insightful documentary that reveals the fuller truth about the Atlantic Yards proposal and highlights how a few powerful men are circumventing community participation and planning principles to try to push their own interests forward.
“In Brooklyn Matters, Isabel Hill presents a dramatic, incisive, and clear-eyed portrait that cuts through the heated rhetoric over Atlantic Yards to expose its core issues. Everyone with a concern for New York City’s future should view this film.”
