The House We Live In (the third episode of Race: The Power of an Illusion) focuses on the ways U.S. institutions and policies advantage some groups at the expense of others. We see how benefits quietly and often invisibly accrue to white Americans because of the racialized nature of our laws, courts, customs, and perhaps most pertinently, housing. (57 min.)
Followed by a discussion with community groups and activists.
NEDAP’s Film Series showcases documentaries, feature films and television broadcasts that explore ways in which low and moderate income communities and neighborhoods of color are confronting economic discrimination and pursuing self- determination.
By screening the work of provocative storytellers and then serving as a forum for discussions with the filmmakers and activists, the Film Series seeks to highlight economic justice issues and be a catalyst for organizing and advocacy efforts that bring about social change.
Location: DCTV, 87 Lafayette St., Manhattan
