David Sheets' Powerful Speech
Battle of Brooklyn via Kickstarter
Filmmakers Michael Galinsky, Suki Hawley and David Beilinson are raising money to fund the completion of their Atlantic Yards documentary, Battle of Brooklyn, via the fundraising site Kickstarter. Each day, they're posting a new clip from the more than 300 hours of film they've shot. Follow the link below to see today's clip — and while you're there, you can make a donation, too.
David Sheets lives in a rental apartment on Dean St. down the block from Freddy's bar. While a great deal of attention has been paid to owners who will lose their homes, less attention has been paid to those who live in rental apartments and will receive no compensation for the loss of their homes. David traveled with others from the neighborhood to hear arguments in the case, Goldstein et al V ESDC. At a press conference before the hearing he made a very eloquent statement that we have posted here.
