Citizen Jane: Battle for the City

A writer and urban activist challenges a powerful redevelopment campaign threatening historic New York neighborhoods during the 1960s. Through community organizing and a different vision for city life, the documentary examines the clash between car-focused urban renewal and lively, people-centered communities.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy accessible documentaries about activism, social justice, and changing cities, especially with archival footage and historical context; Not for you if you want suspense or a fully balanced debate.
