In a world where we are perpetually surrounded by negativity, bad news, and tragedy, along comes BRICK CITY, a powerful, 5-part documentary series created and directed by the award-winning filmmakers Mark Benjamin and Marc Levin that “captures the daily drama of a community striving to become a better, safer, stronger place to live. Against great odds, Newark’s citizens and its Mayor, Cory A. Booker, fight to raise the city out of nearly a half century of violence, poverty and corruption.”

BRICK CITY is currently playing on the Sundance Channel. I highly recommend watching the documentary. Think about what change you can bring to your local community.

Things become easier, not harder, when we decide to give back and make change.
