A public housing community in Miami becomes ground zero for climate gentrification.

Liberty Square, Miami, was home to one of the oldest segregated public housing projects in the U.S. Now with rising sea levels, the neighborhood’s higher ground has become something else: real estate gold. Wealthy property owners push inland to higher ground, creating a speculators’ market in the historically Black neighborhood previously ignored by developers and policy-makers alike.

Indie Lens Pop-Up – presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS and the Fayetteville Public Library – will host a screening of Razing Liberty Square, directed by Katja Esson and produced by Ann Bennett. A community discussion about gentrification, the erasure of cultural landscapes in a city and the far-reaching consequences of a lack of affordable housing will follow the film.

Razing Liberty Square will premiere on PBS on January 29, 2024.
