A HOME IN THE THEATRE - As seen on the Documentary Channel

Ninety-three-year-old Artistic Director Edith O'Hara is waging the battle of her life to hold onto the theatre she founded 34 years ago on West 13th Street in Greenwich Village. She faces an unscrupulous real estate developer who wants to tear the building down and build condos in its place. During the making of this film, nearly 40 Indie theatres in New York were lost or destroyed. The film focuses on Ms. O'Hara's theatre, the unique role of Indie theatre, and its importance both for New York, and American theatre as a whole.
Director: Melodie Bryant

Running Time: 37 min

THE VANISHING CITY Multi award winning and widely acclaimed
Exposes and explains the policies and economic philosophy behind New York's finance dominated economy, the concentration of wealth, and the process that has excluded the middle and lower income residents from the decision making process. Tax breaks for the rich. A rigged system. How we are excluded from the process. Our city now has the greatest disparity of wealth since the robber baron days of the 1920s. THE VANISHING CITY explains how this has happened, is still happening, and why no one is safe.
Directors: Fiore DeRosa and Jen Senko / Narrated by Kathryn Erbe (Law and Order / Criminal Intent)
