Community land trusts (CLTs) make housing permanently affordable by giving ownership of the land to local community groups and eliminating the usual spiral of land price speculation. Through the personal stories, tenacity and vision of community activists in Durham, North Carolina; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Burlington, Vermont, audiences are compelled to rethink their assumptions about affordable housing and community development in the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1470248851755-0ACIXS7IMEAC5DUQKI3D/Gaining-Ground.jpg Related Films - Gaining Ground Gaining Ground, a follow-up to the award-winning documentary Holding Ground (1996), shows how one diverse Boston neighborhood has managed to stem the tide against enormous odds. Building on a 25-year legacy of innovative community organizing, a new generation of Dudley Street neighborhood leaders has managed to foster hope and create opportunity in the midst of the economic meltdown. Gaining Ground explores the innovative, grassroots organizing efforts of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI) in Boston. Over the course of two years, we watch a new generation of leaders working to prevent foreclosures and bring jobs and opportunities for young people to one of the city’s most diverse and economically challenged neighborhoods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1470248854010-AN9CTI6B5BQROTNNOW9V/Holding+Ground_DVD.jpg Related Films - Holding Ground Holding Ground is at once a cautionary tale of urban policies gone wrong and a message of hope for all American cities. In 1985, African-American, Latino, Cape Verdean, and European-American residents in Roxbury, MA united to revitalize their community. The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative went on to gain national recognition as residents fought to close down illegal dumps, gain unprecedented control of land from City Hall and create a comprehensive plan to rebuild the fabric of their community. Through the voices of committed residents, activists and city officials, this moving documentary shows how a Boston neighborhood was able to create and carry out its own agenda for change. https://www.arcofjusticefilm.com/directors-statements daily 0.75 2017-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1486501414604-UCBL8BK5LUZ9DEM7I53O/image-asset.jpeg Directors' Statements https://www.arcofjusticefilm.com/screenings daily 0.75 2016-12-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1464975270207-GSSZMTF9EZIE1MYFSRX3/NCI-Stanely2.jpg Screenings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1464975276294-XNJBAFV85UPEE55EUII5/64_%2320_NCI+Education+Meeting%2C+1972.jpg Screenings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1464975273335-1Z7AEZ1MLIOGY9GRL3X0/NCI-Store.jpg Screenings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1464975268512-9VTH203QYH79NDTCV110/53279694740415.87bKP5UY96TtXhJkC9uL_height640.png Screenings https://www.arcofjusticefilm.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-09-05 https://www.arcofjusticefilm.com/producer-director-bios daily 0.75 2017-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1466189785921-BK6GEVU8WJT61PDSZ1A4/image-asset.jpeg Director/Producer Bios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1464397027684-DYBA6DQRQPHSA9BZL4VH/image-asset.jpeg Director/Producer Bios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1466189834440-68PRRG5LIVMH6W0YGIP8/image-asset.jpeg Director/Producer Bios https://www.arcofjusticefilm.com/synopsis daily 0.75 2016-06-17 https://www.arcofjusticefilm.com/purchase-1 daily 0.75 2016-11-22 https://www.arcofjusticefilm.com/donate daily 0.75 2016-06-22 https://www.arcofjusticefilm.com/purchase daily 0.75 2019-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1479863551533-T61VMGXI19QDVHK42FGS/image-asset.png Purchase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1466534025490-5OAHDE9PR3B9H2HJ7Q96/image-asset.png Purchase https://www.arcofjusticefilm.com/overview daily 0.75 2017-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/574610bb20c647ad3c3c2daf/1465428207700-DAEGZU7CWSTLR5S8QS14/NCI-Store.jpg Educational Resources Overview The New Communities store sold produce that was grown on the farm as well as meats that were smoked there.
