Produced over 5 years by 60 artists at UnionDocs Center for Documentary Art, LIVING LOS SURES is an expansive project about the Southside of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Known by its long-term Latino residents as Los Sures, the neighborhood was one of the poorest in New York City in the late 70s and early 80s. In fact, it had been called the worst ghetto in America. Today, it is the site of a battle between local identity and luxury lifestyle. With the restoration of LOS SURES, a brilliant work of cinéma vérité filmmaking as a starting point, the project has developed into a collection of 40 SHORT FILMS, the interactive documentary 89 STEPS, and the cinematic people’s history SHOT BY SHOT, demonstrating new possibilities for collaboration between an arts institution and its surrounding community to collect memories and share local culture.
“One of the most comprehensive, incredible and in-depth interactive projects that we at the film society have ever seen.” -New York Film Festival
“A massive mixed-media project that defies easy categorization.” - IndieWire
“It’s enough to make fans of the Up series salivate.” - Brooklyn Magazine

WOW. Lucky you. I attended the old EDHS for 9th and 10th grade. Loved the school. Missed it like heck.

[@Enoch-Gnosis]

@@mikesosa1146 it was the best of times ...

It's interesting but I hope people who are not Puerto Rican don't think that all Puerto Rican experiences in New York are like life in the Sures, many Puerto Ricans grew up in areas that were not ghetto or segregated or filled with violence and drugs, that is also a story that needs to be told.
