With the Barclays Center set to open on 2 days later on September 28th, Filmwax's screening of BATTLE FOR BROOKLYN is all the more poignant. The Filmwax series, BROOKLYN RECONSTRUCTED, continues with its 4th screening of this very important documentary.
Each film in the series deals with the themes of gentrification & development in Brooklyn. Within those themes is a conversation about race & class in a city undergoing a startling transformation.
