After Superstorm Sandy, global developers purchase Industry City – 16 industrial buildings along the coast of Sunset Park, Brooklyn. They rebrand it an “Innovation District” and lure a new demographic to this working class, largely immigrant community. But many residents have their own plan: a “green re-industrialization” that could address climate change. When Industry City’s owner tries to change land-use rules, a battle erupts over the fate of Brooklyn’s last working waterfront and over who has a right to determine the future of New York City.

This observational film sheds light on power and process, illuminates systems and lets viewers into the public and private spaces where change happens. Through an ensemble of participants, it explores the profound intersections of gentrification, climate change and development. It asks how change might emerge from dialogue and collective action in a world where too many outcomes are constrained by money, politics and business as usual.
