|
| In the summer of 2004, the Mayor of
Lewiston, Maine announced a plan to |
| develop a four-lane boulevard across
downtown’s low-income neighborhood. The|
| project was going to displace 850
people from their homes as well as destroy|
| playgrounds, vegetable gardens, and
historic buildings. As tragic as the |
| circumstances were, the threat of a
road destroying the neighborhood |
| required residents to rise to the
challenge of becoming community organizers|
| and resist the city's
plan. |
|
|
|
|
| This movie documents 5 years of
development and community organizing in |
| Lewiston, Maine. It reveals the
strategies, the mistakes, the prejudices, |
| the lessons, all of the difficult stuff
that makes up the political process |
| – the act of making decisions and
setting policy TOGETHER. |
|
|
|
|
| A portion of the proceeds goes directly
to The Visible Community. Jim |
| Lysen of The Visible Community will be
present to answer any questions. |
