POSTPONED! Indie Pop Up Screening: "Razing Liberty Square"

DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE SCREENING HAS BEEN MOVED TO TUE, JAN. 23 AT 7PM

Eastside Jewish Commons presents the second of its five-part Indie Pop Up Film Series with an advance screening of the documentary, "Razing Liberty Square".

Liberty City, Miami, was home to one of the oldest segregated public housing projects in the U.S. Now with rising sea levels, the neighborhood’s higher ground has become something else: real estate gold. Wealthy property owners push inland to higher ground, creating a speculators’ market in the historically Black neighborhood previously ignored by developers and policy-makers alike.

Filmmakers: Katja Esson (director/producer), Ann Bennett (producer), and Corinna Sager (producer) 

Runtime: 60 mins. Free, tickets are available here

This screening is funded in part with the support of the Regional Arts + Culture Council, ITVS and SE Uplift.

Earlier Event: January 17
