Movie Night: The Street Project
Event description
On May 23rd, join us at Forest City Brewery for a viewing of The Street Project, a new documentary that highlights the global, citizen-led fight to make our streets safer. Created by the multiple Emmy-winning team at Boyd Productions, The Street Project takes viewers across the globe in an uplifting narrative, from cycling-friendly meccas in Europe, to New York City and Phoenix, Arizona – one of the most dangerous cities in America for pedestrians – for a deep dive into how America views our streets and how they can be made safer.
Four years in the making, The Street Project looks at how we got here, including the history of street use and how it has changed, what makes effective street design, how the automobile changed the way we use our streets, the misguided use of victim blaming, the impact of zoning laws on street transportation, and much more.
Tickets are $10, and price includes 1 beer or soda at Forest City Brewery.
The Street Project film is just under an hour long, and we will discuss the themes within it afterwards!
Online ticket sales end at 5pm on event day. Tickets can be purchased onsite but pre-registration is preferred!
