Urgent: See Battle For Brooklyn Today, Sunday--Help the Film Go National-------------------------------------------------------------------
We urge to see Battle for Brooklyn today, Sunday the 19th, at Cinema Village in Manhattan. (Purchase Tickets Now)
While the Friday turnout was great, Saturday's was not as good as expected. It is crucial that there are large audiences on Sunday.
So, it is urgently important that you see this riveting film today, and that you call your friends and urge them to see it today as well.
If the screenings are packed today then the film will continue to play in New York and expand throughout the country. If the film does not do well today, it won't get far outside of New York.
It is vitally important that this remarkable film about our community's fight is seen by a wide national audience. By telling the story of our fight against Atlantic Yards, it tells a dramatic and universal tale of resistance to corrupt, top-down development and collusion between government and corporations against the interests of the community. It takes direct aim at kleptocracy and it shows that the most important things in life are worth fighting for.
It is a film that deserves a wide audience.
>> CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS. Tickets also available at the box office. The showtimes are: 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9:15.
Every audience that has seen the film so far--in Toronto, Brooklyn, and Manhattan--has been enthralled by it and reacted with outrage to the corruption and backroom dealing it exposes. Battle for Brooklyn has also been hailed in the press, in such places as Salon, The New York Times, NPR, New York Daily News, Wall Street Journal, New York magazine, NY1 and more. Click here to read what the press has said about the film. (Watch the trailer.)
Please see the film today, and spread the word. Thank you.

PS: It is a perfect Father's Day film as it depicts, in part, the protagonist becoming a first-time father in the midst of leading the community's fight against the project.
PPS: If you've seen the film already you know what an emotionally charged experience it is, so come see it again, or if not possible, let others know they need to see it.
