What Do You Lose When You Lose Your Home?: 

A Showing and Panel Discussion on “The Hill”

A film by Lisa Molomot

Monday, July 13, 2015

Cohen Auditorium, 230 South Frontage Rd., New Haven

5:30 pm – 8:00 pm

 

“The Hill” documents the early 2000’s eminent domain battle between homeowners in New Haven’s Hill neighborhood (which is the Hospital’s “backyard”) and the De Stefano administration over the homeowners’ displacement to build public schools.  It is a compelling examination of the nexus of race, class, state power, the meaning of community, and the social determinants of health.
