ULI Building Healthy Places Film Club | July 18-28, 2022
(the new) “West Side Story” & New York
Explore the fascinating real-world story behind San Juan Hill, the lost neighborhood composed largely of Black New Yorkers where ‘West Side Story’ is set. Film Club participants are invited to watch Stephen Spielberg's version of the film on their own and assemble for a post-film discussion led by Julia Foulkes, professor of history and author of “A Place for Us: ‘West Side Story’ and New York”. Virtual thought prompts sent via email will help guide viewers as they watch the film.
