Documentary on journalist, author, and activist, Jane Jacobs—seemingly (from what the trailer shows) focussing primarily on her battles with notorious urban planner Robert Moses over the redevelopment of her neighborhood in Greenwich Village.

I’ve been reading books on urban planning exclusively for the last couple years, including Life And Death Of Great American Cities, and The Power Broker, so this couldn’t come at a better time. Very, very excited.

Screening at Cinema 21 from May 5th. Times TBA.
