Join the American Constitution Society at Texas Law for a screening of the HBO documentary "Class Divide." The film focuses on the impact of gentrification in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea as an example of the growing economic disparity in urban communities across the country. Dinner will be provided and a short group discussion will follow the screening.

Synopsis from HBO: In the final part of their trilogy about economic forces affecting ordinary people, director Marc Levin and producer Daphne Pinkerson (HBO?s Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags and Hard Times: Lost on Long Island) explore the effects of hyper-gentrification and rising economic disparity in one New York City neighborhood, which can be seen as a microcosm of the socioeconomic imbalances across the country, and the world. The film bears witness to the profound effects of gentrification and stagnant class mobility on young people who share a West Chelsea community -- yet live in very different worlds -- as they try to navigate this rapidly changing landscape.
