UPDATE: Sunday Best - Battle For Brooklyn
ABC TV Blog
 |
Did you watch tonight's Sunday Best documentary, Battle For Brooklyn. As promised, we have an update on Daniel Goldstein and the Atlantic Yards project.
Filmmaker Michael Galinsky recently sent us this update:
'It is now July 2012. The main character of the film, Daniel Goldstein is getting ready to move his family to a new home in the neighbourhood after renting steps from his old home for the past 2.5 years. The arena is nearing completion and the realities of how the project came to be are starting to become better known. We like to think the film has helped with that a great deal. At the end of the film, Mayor Bloomberg, who supported the project and is a central figure in pushing it forward, states, "No one is going to care how long it took. They're just gonna see that it was done." This is simply not the case.'
...If you missed the documentary, we're rescreening it this coming Wednesday at 11.25pm (ABC2) or you can catch-up on iview from tomorrow.
