DESCRIPTION:Destroyed in a dramatic and highly publicized implosion\, the Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex in St. Louis has become a widespread symbol of failure among architects\, politicians\, and policy makers. Created in the postwar housing boom\, Pruitt-Igoe was to be a symbol of renewal\, prosperity\, and democracy. It appeared to offer a largely African American community the chance to leave tenements behind for a clean\, modern lifestyle. But as Chad Freidrich’s documentary shows\, the American city was also changing in ways that made it unrecognizable from a generation earlier\, privileging some and leaving others in its wake. Q&A with Producer Paul Fehler and New School Professor Joseph Heathcott will follow screening6 pm open seating6:15 pm screeningImage courtesy of St. Louis Post-Dispatch\n&nbsp\;
