Event Details

The Liberty Square public housing community in Miami becomes ground zero for climate gentrification.

Shubert Theatre will debut the new season of Indie Lens Pop-Up, the long-running community screening series that has brought people together for community-driven conversations around its thought-provoking documentaries. Patrons will have the opportunity to view the films before they air on television on INDEPENDENT LENS, PBS’s award-winning documentary anthology series.

Through its roster of five documentary projects this season, Indie Lens Pop-Up will ignite conversations on a range of topics impacting communities around the U.S., including the Muslim American experience, climate gentrification, and race and gender equity in mainstream media. This season’s topics also aim to expand perspectives through deeply personal stories, like what it means to live with Parkinson’s disease, and how the Deaf and hard of hearing community redefine what it means to listen.

Razing Liberty Square - January 18, 2024

Filmmakers: Katja Esson (director/producer), Ann Bennett (producer) and Corinna Sager (producer)

Liberty City, Miami, was home to one of the oldest segregated public housing projects in the U.S. Now with rising sea levels, the neighborhood’s higher ground has become something else: real estate gold. Wealthy property owners push inland to higher ground, creating a speculators’ market in the historically Black neighborhood previously ignored by developers and policy-makers alike.
