"Changing Lanes" - film screening

When a beloved teacher is tragically killed in a hit-and-run crash in Greenpoint,

Brooklyn, a grassroots movement emerges to transform a notoriously dangerous four-

lane boulevard into a safer, two-lane street with protected bike lanes.

While many applaud the proposed redesign, it also sparks a backlash, led in part by a

powerful local business owner. As government support begins to waver, neighbors

unite to challenge entrenched interests and fight for a safer Greenpoint.

This particular story is situated within the broader historical, environmental, political

and social contexts through interviews with politicians, activists, urban planners,

entrepreneurs and cultural icons including David Byrne and Janette Sadik-Khan.

Changing Lanes is a compelling call to action for democracy at street level.
