Metropolitan Avenue

Metropolitan Avenue

"...as frank and robust and unafraid and wonderful as the handful of women who are its 'stars'...a warming, lingering, renewing portrait of bedrock America."
–Sheila Benson
Los Angeles Times

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

Metropolitan Avenue is an inspiring film about community, about the changing role of women, and about how powerful ordinary people can be when they join together to fight for something they believe in.
The film focuses on a lively Brooklyn neighborhood which, like many urban areas, faces problems caused by racial tensions and cutbacks in municipal services. But in this case, a group of "traditional" homemakers from varied ethnic backgrounds rises to the challenge and forms coalitions to fight for the community's survival.
