Praise for Brooklyn Matters
“It
can be difficult to clearly communicate to the public the relevant
details and urgency of such a complex and fraught project. For this
reason, Brooklyn Matters is particularly welcome; the film is a clarion call on an issue of great significance.”
-Richard Moe, National Trust for Historic Preservation
“Brooklyn Matters
is a remarkable film that slowly, quietly, calmly reveals the extreme
ugliness at the heart of one of the most ill-conceived mega-development
schemes in New York history.”
-Francis Morrone, Architectural Historian
Thanks for posting this. I saw this video, and I found it compelling, overwhelming, actually. Everyone needs to see this to understand the magnitude of what’s being planned. People have no idea.
They say that in order to get someone to believe your lie, just tell it loud enough and long enough. And the bigger the lie, the easier to believe. As if we don’t have examples from living memory.
