The pundits who continue to say they dont understand what the protesters
behind Occupy Wall Street want should look at Battle for Brooklyn, the
award-winning documentary about the Atlantic Yards that was released this
summer. The film was released before the Wall Street protests began, but the
story it tells is a strong summary of the crony capitalism that sparked the OWS
movement.
Michael OKeeffe, New York Daily News
Brooklyn, NY, November 21, 2011 Battle for Brooklyn, co-directed by Suki
Hawley and Michael Galinsky and produced by David Beilinson, is a documentary
about the struggle of one man, Daniel Goldstein, and his community to save
their homes from from being demolished to make way for a new basketball arena
as part of the largest development plan in New York City history, currently
under construction in downtown Brooklyn, NY.
This intimate, rigorous and infuriating investigation of the seven-year long
fight between a small neighborhood in Brooklyn and one of the largest real
estate developers in the country captures the cultural zeitgeist that has
people revolting against big banks in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
