Mega Mall

HVCCA
will screen Mega Mall, a film by Vera Aronow, Robert Grange, and Sarah Mondale
followed by a Q & A session with the filmmakers.

A story of money, power and politics in the age of sprawl, the film Mega Mall
explores the controversy behind one of America's biggest shopping malls, the Palisades
Center in West Nyack, New York. In 1996, the biggest mall developer in the
Northeast broke ground on a toxic dump, one mile from the filmmakers' homes.
That move ignited a citizen uprising which lasted almost 20 years. With
dramatic verite footage, in-depth interviews with key players in the dispute,
as well as provocative commentary from leading urban critics, James Howard
Kunstler ("The Geography of Nowhere") and Roberta Brandes Gratz
("The Living City"), Mega Mall gives viewers the real story behind
the changing shape of America's landscape. Free with museum admission.
