Gentrification has been a hot-button-issue in Oakland for over a decade, as new development spurred by former Mayor Jerry Brown's "10K Initiative” brought new residents and new energy to the newly named Uptown district. The initiative helped to remake Oakland's image, but is also resulting in the displacement of longtime residents across the city and allegations of exclusion of some of the city's diverse demographic.  Broaklyn Film & Theater Company presents the OAKLAND RECONSTRUCTED Town Forum, a collection of roundtable discussions which highlight the social impact and direction of Oakland's modern renaissance. The series serves as a continuum of the Brooklyn Reconstructed Film Series, a body of documentaries exploring similar themes in Brooklyn, Cleveland, Detroit, and San Francisco, presented by Broaklyn one year ago. 

OAKLAND RECONSTRUCTED Town Forum Wednesday, December 4 | 7PM New Parkway Theater  474 24th Street @ Telegraph
