Take an intimate look at the very public and passionate fight waged by owners and residents in Brooklyn facing condemnation of their property. The struggle is in the face of the controversial Atlantic Yards project, a plan to build 16 skyscrapers and a basketball arena for the New Jersey Nets in the heart of the community. Shot over seven years and compiled from almost 500 hours of footage, Battle for Brooklyn is an epic tale of how far people will go to fight for what they believe. Filmmaker Michael Galinsky in attendance.
