Death in Brooklyn
Documentary/Australia/59 minutes/2011
Directed by Tracey Spring
When seven year-old Gavin Cato, a black child, was accidentally run over and killed by an ultra orthodox Jewish driver in Brooklyn in 1991, what followed became one of the most tense moments in US history - the Crown Heights riots. Innocent Australian, Yankel Rosenbaum out walking, was stabbed to deathan eye for an eye. These riots came to symbolize the racial and religious tensions between black and white and Jews and gentiles in New York City. In the twentieth anniversary of the riots, this film tells this extraordinary story from the people who lived it.
