Class Divide

[Class Divide] bores into income disparity in an area where an elite private school and multi-million-dollar high-rise condominiums have gone up adjacent to poverty-stricken public-housing projects.

To the filmmakers' credit, they seem to approach their subjects with no simplistic agenda but a genuine desire to engage and understand everyone they meet.

What "Class Divide" does exceptionally well is capture the sense of change at warp speed. In their bones, the public-housing kids know that it's only a matter of time before they're forced to leave.

Class Divide shines an important light on our country's gentrification problem, but also pushes forward the necessity of integration in order to accomplish a better, more diverse and fairer future.

Marc Levin talks to people on both sides [the rich and the poor] in Class Divide and gets his most poignant responses from children.

A brilliant take onthe hypergentrification that made funky old Chelsea the hq of buildings that now have individual swimming pools in apartments like a Scrooge McDuck comic book from the 50s.
