Metropolitan Avenue
An inspiring film about community, Metropolitan
Avenue addresses the changing role of women and how powerful ordinary
people can be when they join together to fight for something they believe
in. Racial tensions, cutbacks in municipal services, and a changing economy
threaten a lively Brooklyn neighborhood. Traditional homemakers from various
ethnic backgrounds organize and lead the struggle to save their community.
They discover the empowerment and enhanced self-worth bestowed by active
cooperation.
