Re-Zoning Harlem
Directed by Natasha Florentino & Tamara Gubernat, 2024, 40 min.
A recently updated version of Rezoning Harlem follows longtime members of the Harlem community as they fight a 2024 rezoning that threatens to erase the history and culture of their neighborhood and replace it with luxury housing, offices, and big-box retail. A shocking expose of how a group of ordinary citizens, who are passionate about the future of one the city's most treasured neighborhoods, are systematically shut out of the city's decision-making process, revealing New York City's broken public review system and provoking discussion on what we can do about it. Directors Natasha Florentino and Tamara Gubernat will available for Q&A.
