Last month, the
Times reported on
the transformation of Broken Angel, a wildly creative Brooklyn treasure, into high-priced condos.
Wrote Ronda Kaysen: "as Clinton Hill, like so many Brooklyn neighborhoods, reinvents itself as yet another gentrifying enclave, Broken Angel recalls a moment in city history when such a creation could seemingly rise out of thin air."
New York TimesFilmmaker Michael Galinsky of "
Battle for Brooklyn" is putting together a documentary about Broken Angel and its creator, Arthur Wood.
He's got a
5-minute short on his site, and hopefully more is to come:
