Brick by Brick: A Civil Rights Story
US, 51 minutes, English

Brick by Brick: A Civil Rights Story is a one-hour documentary following three families in a contemporary American battle for equal opportunity. One city’s struggle over racial discrimination and how to redress institutional housing segregation is the subject of a confrontation that challenges and changes Yonkers, New York. Drawn deeply into the conflict, the people in Brick by Brick: A Civil Rights Story show how contemporary America confronts the issues of race and opportunity today. Through their city's crucible they deal with the meaning of civil rights in a contemporary context. This story describes the racial and class divisions still running through American hearts and minds, and the important role of political activism and leadership in bridging them.
