Village East by Angelika

Film screening at the Architecture & Design Film Festival. Directed by Kelly Anderson, Kathryn Barnier, and Ryan Joseph, this documentary film chronicles a trailblazing housing organizer and her diverse working-class neighbors as they fight Robert Moses, the real estate industry, and five mayors to create the first Community Land Trust in New York City—an oasis of permanent low-income housing in the heart of the rapidly gentrifying Lower East Side.
