Brooklyn Matters

About This Movie

Brooklyn Matters takes you deep into the heart of Brooklyn’s real estate wars, capturing the raw tension between developers, politicians, and the community. It’s not just about buildings; it’s about lives, jobs, and the struggle for affordable housing. The pacing is steady, allowing you to absorb the complexities of urban development and the stakes involved. You get a sense of the atmosphere—frustration mixed with hope—as various voices come forward, each with their own agenda. It’s a documentary that feels very grounded and real, using practical effects like on-the-ground interviews and protests to paint a vivid picture of the clash of interests. The film’s strength lies in its ability to humanize an issue that often feels abstract.
