Special Screening: HBO presents 'Class Divide'

Class Divide highlights the recent effects of hypergentrification in New York City’s West Chelsea neighborhood, focusing on an intersection where an elite private school sits directly across the street from public housing projects. The final film in a trilogy about economic forces affecting ordinary people from director Marc Levin and producing partner Daphne Pinkerson (HBO’s Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags and Hard Times: Lost on Long Island), the movie bears witness to the effects of rising inequality and stagnant class mobility.

A Q-and-A session will follow the screening.
