RAZING LIBERTY SQUARE By Katja Esson, Ann Bennett, and Corinna Sager / 2023 / 62 minutes
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.

This event is brought to you by Indie Lens Pop-Up, presented by IVTS, INDEPENDENT LENS, and Red River Theatres.
