Synopsis
Half music video, half micro-documentary, this short explores the topic of gentrification in Brooklyn over the years while mirroring key themes in the song 'Pocket Full of Detritus' by Fred Baker, off of his 2012 independent release 'The Enemy.' The tone is both poignant and comical, as we explore the ever-changing face of Brooklyn by talking candidly with several generations of 'brooklynites,' native and otherwise.
