FDL Movie Night: Battle for Brooklyn
Fire Dog Lake
by Lisa Derrick
Daniel Goldstein and Battle for Brooklyn filmmakers Michael Galinsky and Suki Hawley participated in a live Q & A on FDL this evening. Go to the comments for the back and forth.
"Nobody’s gonna remember how long it took. They’re only gonna look and see that it was done."
— New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, on the use of eminent domain to build a basketball arena in Brooklyn.
And if it were not for tonight’s film, Battle for Brooklyn, how many would remember how long it took to build the Nets’ arena at the corner of Flatbush and Atlantic, and the human cost as well?
