USA, 2023, 1h 26min, DCP

Indie Lens Pop-Up

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

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. A panel discussion with Sydnee Landry, Climate Equity Engagement Associate, and Karen Paup, Executive Director of Texas Housers, will follow the screening.

This community screening is free and open to the public.

ABOUT INDIE LENS POP-UP

Through its roster of five documentary projects this season, Indie Lens Pop-Up will generate conversations on a range of topics impacting communities around the U.S., including the Muslim American experience, climate gentrification, and race and gender equity in mainstream media. This season’s topics also aim to expand perspectives through deeply personal stories, like what it means to live with Parkinson’s disease, and how the Deaf and hard of hearing community redefine what it means to listen. Screenings are free and open to the public.
