Gowanus Current with Jaime Courville (Director)

Shot over ten years, this documentary employs a strictly observational direct-cinema approach to examine the convictions of a diverse community and the textures of its landscape. It serves as a documentary portrait of activism and its limits, exploring the conflict engendered by a housing crisis, income inequality, and a changing climate.
