‘Battle for Brooklyn’ Continues To Gather National Attention
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
As well it should.
The film Battle for Brooklyn continues to attract national attention.
Controversial documentary filmmaker and political activist Michael Moore has chosen Battle for Brooklyn for his Traverse City Film Festival in his home state of Michigan. The film will screen at the festival on July 27 and 29.
“We are extremely happy and honored to have Battle for Brooklyn playing with all of the other amazing films at the Traverse City Film Festival,” said co-director Suki Hawley. “Michael Moore’s stamp of approval is very appreciated, and it sends the message that this is a story that’s relevant far beyond Brooklyn and stirring to audiences from all across the map.”
...After a successful three-week engagement at Cinema Village in Manhattan, the film began a one-week run on July 6 at the Brooklyn Heights Cinema. That engagement has been so successful that the film will screen each Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. for the rest of the summer.
