About
The result of a three year collaboration 19711974 between the Resolution film group and a number of community groups struggling to save their home and neighborhoods from urban renewal In San Francisco as in most other cities urban renewal means destroying minority and working class neighborhoods and building lucrative luxury developments As usual the key government people have been bought and paid for by the big developers Redevelopment is a tool not in the heres how to fix it sense but rather as an aid to understanding local issues in the larger contexts of the politicaleconomy of the city and a variety of community organizing strategies The film has been used and enthusiastically received by community and tenants groups all over the country It has proven itself as an effective means of stimulating discussion in the neighborhood and the classroom
