Eminent Domain explores the gritty underbelly of life in Willets Point, an industrial enclave of Queens, New York, teeming with immigrant auto repair workers fighting against their impending eviction. Defined by iron shacks and dirt-paved roads, the poor infrastructure of the area is ripe for redevelopment; the latest attempt being a $3 billion development initiative by the Bloomberg Administration to convert the area into a retail housing and hotel complex. As the new Mets Stadium looms over the blighted district, Eminent Domain captures the final moments in a losing battle as the workers of Willets Point struggle to maintain their meager lifestyle. |
