The Battle for Brooklyn

DoobyBrain.com

The movie mainly follows activist Daniel Goldstein and members of the Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn as they fought for 6 long years to discourage the city and Forest City Ratner from developing the land. Unfortunately, they were not successful and construction is now going ahead at the planned site, but hey, this is the story of how long it took them to actually start because of a few courageous people.
