Help Battle for Brooklyn Go National -- See the Movie Today, Sunday the 19th at Cinema Village
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
We know there is a lot of competition for your time, but WE URGE you to see Battle for Brooklyn today, Sunday the 19th, at Cinema Village in Manhattan. (Purchase Tickets Now)
While the Friday turnout was amazing, Saturday's was not as good as expected. It is crucial that there are large audiences on Sunday.
So, it is urgently important that you see this riveting film today, and that you call your friends and urge them to see it today as well.
If the screenings are packed today then the film will continue to play in New York and expand throughout the country. If the film does not do well today, it won't get far outside of New York.
It is vitally important that this remarkable film about our community's fight is seen by a wide national audience. By telling the story of our fight against Atlantic Yards, it tells a dramatic and universal tale of resistance to corrupt, top-down development and collusion between government and corporations against the interests of the community. It takes direct aim at kleptocracy and it shows that the most important things in life are worth fighting for. It is a film that deserves a wide audience.
