Class Divide takes a look at class division and gentrification of New York City via a single intersection in Chelsea, where children from both low-income public housing and an expensive private school interact.
What "Class Divide" does exceptionally well is capture the sense of change at warp speed. In their bones, the public-housing kids know that it's only a matter of time before they're forced to leave.
To the filmmakers' credit, they seem to approach their subjects with no simplistic agenda but a genuine desire to engage and understand everyone they meet.
A brilliant take onthe hypergentrification that made funky old Chelsea the hq of buildings that now have individual swimming pools in apartments like a Scrooge McDuck comic book from the 50s.
Class Divide shines an important light on our country's gentrification problem, but also pushes forward the necessity of integration in order to accomplish a better, more diverse and fairer future.
[Class Divide] bores into income disparity in an area where an elite private school and multi-million-dollar high-rise condominiums have gone up adjacent to poverty-stricken public-housing projects.
