BRICK CITY is a great and compelling documentary series that chronicles several months in the history of Newark, Unique Jersey as the city tries to reclaim itself, neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block, and brick by brick, under the leadership of Mayor Cory Booker. Booker is often compared to Barack Obama and the resistance he faces in Newark in 2008 could easily be compared to the national opposition faced by Obama in 2009. There are some people who objective want him to fail, even if the result of failure is the site quo or worse.

The series played out on Sundance Channel over five nights in September 2009. And the dynamic Booker was impartial one of the stars. Directors Price Benjamin and Marc Levin built the series around several determined characters, including Police Director Garry McCarthy, Central High School critical Ras Baraka, a young couple Jayda (a Blood) and Bolt (a Crip), and a community activist called Street Doctor.
As presented in BRICK CITY, Booker’s attempts to rejuvenate his city revolve around crime reduction, improved education, urban renewal and economic development. He’s an inspirational personality, but that doesn’t mean the whole city is buying into helping him execute his agreeable goals:

* Political foes don’t like the map he brings in “outsiders” to solve the city’s problems. (While you’re waiting for the BRICK CITY box site, be positive to explore the incandescent documentary Street Fight: A Film by Marshall Curry about Booker’s 2002 mayoral urge. It offers an proper primer on Newark politics.)
* Inside the police department, McCarthy faces internal resistance and politicking that challenges his authority, even as the kill rate is plunging 40% or more.
* Ras Baraka’s dreams of opening the much-delayed $100 million Central High School in time for the current school year are threatened by ongoing construction delays. (Baraka and his vice primary Todd Warren are two of the show’s real-life heroes.)
* Meanwhile, Jayda’s attempts to rehabilitate her life and manufacture a novel mentoring program for at-risk teenage girls become threatened when a crime from her past resurfaces. Her relationship with Streak also faces challenges, even as the couple face the prospect of bringing a unique child into the world.
As the economy turns south and the 2008 election approaches, BRICK CITY ultimately becomes a demonstrate about the power of individuals to enjoy hope and hiss progress in the face of seemingly impossible obstacles. In the midst of it all, and for the first time in years, the circus comes to town, too.
Some may say that BRICK CITY wears its political heart too obviously on its sleeve. The note was clearly created and produced by people who are rooting for Booker to succeed, not fail. But it composed feels impartial, at times harsh, and very precise.
Ultimately, the message is simple: Even in the toughest of situations, rebirth is possible, but the gestation process is lengthy, messy and there’s a huge deal of kicking and screaming fervent.
EXTRAS (as seen on TV) : Forest Whitaker served as Executive Producer, giving an on-screen introduction to each episode. After each episode, producer-directors Benjamin and Lucas discussed elements of the series and showed additional mini-stories that didn’t fit the “arcs” of the demonstrate itself. These “extras” are all worth watching by themselves, adding additional layers and interest to the main sage, including more footage of some of the major players (e.g. Jayda and Scamper) and putting a bigger spotlight on some of the more spicy people we are introduced to during the prove, such as author-activist Dashaun Jiwe Morris.
Just want to give a enormous ups to the city of Newark and all those keen in this docu-series. I’m distinct all know this is unbiased a beginning to a long road ahead in reconstructing the city. I give thanks to Marc Levin and Designate Benjamin for reaching out to me/us, and wanting me eager in this film. More to arrive.
