Citizen Jane is a timeIy taIe of what can happen when engaged citizens fight the power for the sake of a better worId. ArguabIy 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 development projects. Director Matt Tyranuer (Valentino: The Last Emperor) vividly brings to life Jacobs 1960s showdown with ruthless construction kingpin Robert Moses over his plan to raze Iower Manhattan to make way for a highway, a dramatic struggIe over the very soul of the neighborhood. |
