Documentary Film on Lincoln Place
By Ingrid
Mueller
This second documentary about Lincoln
Place Apartments tenants' struggle to save their homes has been in progress
since February - and help is needed!
To get a bit closer to understanding our
passionate convictions, please take a virtual tour through this 55-year-old
historic Venice neighborhood:
www.lincolnplace.net
Or a drive, or
walk, through this 33-acre property may also enhance your appreciation of the
Modern Architecture Garden Apartment Movement of the
‘50s.
Just imagine all homes
re-occupied, those “empty meadows” refilled, the original
landscaping better maintained, those 340 mature trees appreciated and cared for,
and this community of renters continuing to make
history!
If you want to help our cause
with your kind in-kind contributions (food for crew; lend lighting or sound or
additional camera packages for upcoming shoots; production assistance;) - your
credits are also assured!
The first 35-min.
educational documentary by UCLA Anthropology professor Karen Brodkin, another
Venice resident, was released in 1995 and distributed nationwide by UC
Berkeley.
This second educational doc,
UPDATE! shows tenants' courageous stand to preserve their homes, as they are
forced to learn how to continue living normal lives - despite out-of-state
corporate, bottom-line only, attacks. The tenants must navigate through local
legal jungles and State Historic Resources agendas; and try to calm our
neighbors' states of angst, mostly produced by harrassing, pressuring
“relocation methods” since Fall
2004.
