Synopsis
In 2003 filmmaker Michael Galinsky read a NY Times article about a New Jersey Nets stadium coming to Brooklyn. Eight years and three lawsuits later, the Forest City Ratner vs. The People vs. The State of New York vs. The Borough of Brooklyn saga has played out for all of New York City to bear witness. A main character in this real estate tragedy has been Daniel Goldstein, the Prospect Heights man who refused to be bought out by Ratner developers. His organization, Develop Don't Destroy, led the anti-Atlantic Yards movement and mobilized thousands of people toward his cause. Battle for Brooklyn starts at the very beginning of this debate and follows it through its devastating conclusion. We see how Goldstein's life was upended when he took on Ratner, and how he changes over the course of this near decade long struggle. New Yorkers pride themselves on being stubborn and vocal, and Goldstein certainly earns this pride. If you're a Brooklyn resident who heard about all the hoopla but didn't understand what people were actually fighting for, now is your chance to learn about the (anti-) development in your own backyard
