Affordable Housing Consortium – UNZIPPED: An Autopsy of American Inequality – Film Premiere & Director Discussion

May 8 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Dive into the heart of America’s housing crisis with “UNZIPPED: An Autopsy of American Inequality.” From the award-winning writer & director, Colin K. Gray, produced by The Sibs and executive produced by Lucy Liu, UNZIPPED: An Autopsy of American Inequality is a searing exposé of the growing affordable housing crisis in America.

This intimate feature documentary focuses on one of the country’s most iconic and income divided zip codes, Venice CA 90291. Once a mecca for artists, outsiders and a thriving black community, Venice is now the frontline for America’s heated battles over gentrification, lack of affordable housing, and homelessness.

With moving, personal profiles of several artist families who struggle to remain in their neighborhood, to bitterly contested community fights over a proposed homeless shelter, UNZIPPED explodes stereotypes and humanizes the lived experiences of people caught in the crossfire of America’s growing housing divide.
