Saving Jamaica Bay

Saving Jamaica Bay tells the story of how one community-led by a family with roots in the area stretching back more than 100 years-fought the government and overcame Hurricane Sandy to clean up and restore the largest open space in New York City, which had become a dumping ground for garbage, sewage, sludge and bullet-riddled mobsters. Narrated by actress Susan Sarandon, the film includes interviews with the community activists who led the fight, and state and city officials.
