Made in Brooklyn

by Isabel Hill

"No subject could be more important...not only for New York, but for all American cities. This is the most lucid explanation of America's economic self-crippling and the direction to take to overcome it."
Jane Jacobs, Author
The Death and Life of Great American Cities

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

 


The compelling stories of factories that flourish in Brooklyn, NY, challenge the notion that manufacturing is dead in America. Workers reveal how their jobs bring not only regular pay checks, but meaningful relationships, enhanced self-esteem, and pride in themselves and their products. Made in Brooklyn has lessons about the economy for the entire nation.
