See Battle for Brooklyn This Weekend at Cinema Village. Help Our Fight Go National.
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
Mr. Ratner can no longer deny reality or attempt to rewrite history because our community's principled, tenacious, and epic fight, and the way Ratner's arena came to be, has been captured for all history in a new, riveting documentary: Battle for Brooklyn.
After winning Best Documentary and Best Film at the Brooklyn Film Festival last week, Clinton Hill filmmakers Suki Hawley, Mike Galinsky and David Beilinson's eight-year-in-the-making movie is making its theatrical debut this weekend.
The film opens theatrically on June 17th at Cinema Village in Manhattan (22 East 12th Street). Showtimes each day are 1,3,5,7 and 9:15.

With this film the developer's narrative can no longer hold, and we urge you to attend a screening this weekend and spread the work to friends, neighbors, family and colleagues.
Why is it so important that you attend a screening this opening weekend of the 17th, 18th or 19th, and why are we exhorting you to spread the word? First off, it is a riveting and remarkable film. It captures the essence of our fight in a compelling, dramatic narrative that will move you, enrage you, and make you laugh and cry. It also has universal appeal.
But also because well-attended screenings on those dates at Cinema Village will ensure that the film gets booked in well over 100 cities around the country.
