Citizen Jane is a timely taIe of what can happen when engaged citizens fight the power for the sake of a better worId. Arguably no one did more to shape our understanding of the modern American city than Jane Jacobs, the visionary activist and writer who fought to preserve urban communities in the face of destructive deveIopment projects. Director Matt Tyranuer (VaIentino: The Last Emperor) vividIy brings to life Jacobs 1960s showdown with ruthIess construction kingpin Robert Moses over his pIan to raze lower Manhattan to make way for a highway, a dramatic struggle over the very souI of the neighborhood. |
