synopsis

Created and directed by the award-winning filmmakers Mark Benjamin and Marc Levin, BRICK CITY is a five-part documentary series that fans out around the city of Newark, New Jersey to capture the daily drama of a community striving to become a better, safer, stronger place to live. Against great odds, Newark's citizens and its Mayor, Cory A. Booker, fight to raise the city out of nearly a half century of violence, poverty, and corruption. In the five one-hour episodes of Brick City, the lives of Mayor Booker, citizens of the front lines, and key figures re-making the city - from developers to gang members and youth mentors - intertwine in a portrait of a city at a critical moment in history.
