Along the way, he loses a fianc\u00e9e, falls in love again, gets married, and starts a family. Shot over the course of eight years and compiled from almost 500 hours of footage, Battle for Brooklyn is an intimate look at the very public and passionate fight waged by the Prospect Heights community to save their neighborhood from destruction.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Goldstein spent five years carefully looking for the perfect apartment. Not long after he had begun to settle in, he was informed that he and his neighbors would be cleared out to make way for the Atlantic Yards development project. This massive plan to build a basketball arena for the New Jersey Nets, and 16 skyscrapers, had been arranged by a private developer.\u00a0 This company, Forest City Ratner, claimed that the building of Atlantic Yards would provide jobs and additional housing, and that the arrival of the New Jersey Nets would be important to the community. In turn, Goldstein and a host of Brooklynites formed the group \u201cDevelop Don\u2019t Destroy Brooklyn\u201d to counter Ratner\u2019s proposal and to expose misconceptions about the project.<\/p>\n<p>The effort to stop the project pits Goldstein and his neighbors against Ratner and an entourage of lawyers and public relations emissaries, the government, and those residents taken in by the promises of jobs, housing, and a basketball team on their turf. Focusing on the Goldstein\u2019s struggle to save his property from becoming center court, the film tells a story of the infuriating erosion of individual rights in the interest of corporate concerns and political maneuvering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M.A.D.E. in Edmonton and Metro Cinema\u00a0are pleased to presented a Thursday evening screening of the film Battle for Brooklyn.
