Food and Film Documentary Series: “Razing Liberty Square”

The Watershed Alliance of Southwest Washington’s annual free “Food and Film” documentary series is the fourth Tuesday of the month Jan. 23 through June 24 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. in the Columbia Room at the Vancouver Community Library, 901 C St, Vancouver. Free pizza is donated by Piehole Pizzeria. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., pizza (with vegan and gluten-free options) is served at 4:45 p.m. and the film starts at 5:15 p.m. The film series is in partnership with Clark County Green Neighbors, which offers a free lending library of previously shown documentaries.

On May 28, see “Razing Liberty Sqaure.” 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. What is happening in Liberty Square is a prescient story of what is to come, and strategies put to the test here are being closely observed by the rest of the world.
