Razing Liberty Square

Director: Katja Esson

Description

Miami is ground-zero for sea-level rise. When residents of the Liberty Square public-housing community learn about a $300 million revitalization project in 2015, they soon discover that this sudden interest comes from the fact that their neighborhood is located on the highest and driest ground in the city. Now they must prepare to fight a new form of racial injustice: Climate Gentrification.
