This movie follows the super gentrification of west Chelsea in Manhattan. It’s actually kind of crazy, it focuses on one intersection in particular. On one ide of the street you have Avenues, a private K-12 school that opened up in 2012 that has an annual tuition upwards of 40,000$. On the other side of the street is a projects housing complex that’s home to 2,500 people, most of which are working poor. The documentary follows families from both sides of the streets. Students who go to avenues, and kids who live at Elliot houses (the projects). It was kind of refreshing when students from Avenues recognize that they’re more privileged and have far more opportunities than those across the street. None of that “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” rhetoric. The movie also goes around taking the viewpoint of gentrification to several different people. Those who profitted from it and those affected by it. It also does a take on New York city and how it’s driving the working poor out. I, personally, am disgusted by the total disregard developers can have to the people of this city, but what’re yo gonna do? It’s an hour and 10 minutes I think. I saw it on HBO but the whole thing’s on youtube so there’s that.
