A special screening of a new documentary that looks at New York City's gentrification and growing inequality in a microcosm, exploring two distinct worlds that share the same Chelsea intersection – 10th Avenue and 26th Street. On one side of the avenue, the Chelsea-Elliot Houses have provided low-income public housing to residents for decades. Their neighbor across the avenue since 2012 is Avenues: The World School, a costly private school. What happens when kids from both of these worlds attempt to cross the divide? (2015, Director: Marc Levin; 74 mins.)
