The first film in a trilogy documenting the redevelopment and gentrification of blighted community in Pittsburgh. Filmed over several years, the series of films takes a raw look at changes happening in one community reflecting a national trend. The first film, “A Story of Good Intentions” follows displaced residents from low income high rises that have been demolished for new redevelopment. Featuring interviews with residents and social examiner and author Mindy Fullilove, MD (“Root Shock”), “East of Liberty” takes a unique approach to tackling the global issue of gentrification.
