🎬"provocative and unique work" — intimate theater vibe

A decade in the making, this observational documentary watches Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal area transform through EPA cleanup battles, rezoning fights, and community conviction. It's patient filmmaking that lets the neighborhood speak for itself: activists, developers, and the toxic canal all sharing the frame.
