Class Divide

An HBO Documentary Films release

Includes a post-film conversation with director Marc Levin hosted by Steve Greene, Special Projects Editor at Indiewire.

Class Divide highlights the recent effects of hyper-gentrification in New York City’s West Chelsea neighborhood, focusing on an intersection where an elite private school sits directly across the street from public housing projects. The final film in a trilogy about economic forces affecting ordinary people from director Marc Levin and producing partner Daphne Pinkerson (HBO’s Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags and Hard Times: Lost on Long Island), this moving chronicle bears witness to the effects of rising inequality and stagnant class mobility.
