Join us for the kick-off of an indefinite occupation of Boston
screens! Inspired by the Occupy movement, Cinematic Disobedience
aims to bring people together for food and discussion and to present
films that reflect in one way or another on the state of our
economy, our public space and our society.<br>

Mission Hill and the Miracle of Boston (1978) by Richard Broadman<br>
<br>
"The story of what happened to Mission Hill is the story of many of
America's older ethnic neighborhoods. Seventy years ago, Mission
Hill was an Irish neighborhood of homes and small stores in which
people lived near their schools, their church, and their shopping
area. But between 1940 and 1980 it changed: thousands of units of
public housing were built and decayed there. Nearby hospitals
expanded, displacing people from their homes. Developers and
speculators bought and sold property and built twenty-story
apartment houses. A new, poor population and an affluent
professional population arrived to compete for parts of the old
neighborhood.<br>
<br>
Mission Hill and the Miracle of Boston is the story of urban
renewal, racial conflict, and the struggle of a neighborhood to
survive these changing times. Spokespeople include real estate
developers, community activists, workers, and residents." -DER<br>
