Fort Green Peace is presenting a screening and discussion of Some Place Like Home, a new documentary about the the fight against gentrification in downtown Brooklyn.
Some Place Like Home tells the stories of community residents and small businesses that were displaced to make way for high-end retail
and luxury condominiums to the area. Small business owners, who have helped to make that area the third largest retail district in New York City talk about the deferment of their dreams as entrepreneurs.

Where can I find this movie now?
Please help
This movie looks like a real winner. I’m looking forward to seeing it on Wednesday. I’m also looking forward to seeing the inside of this church.
This looks like a good film. I currently have a post on my blog that deals with some gentrification issues:
