Join us on Thursday, July 31st at 7pm for a screening of the documentary film Drop Dead City followed by a talkback with directors Michael Rohatyn & Peter Yost.

Step into the grit and chaos of 1970s New York with a screening of Drop Dead City, the first-ever documentary to chronicle the city’s legendary fiscal crisis. When bankruptcy loomed and the Big Apple teetered on the edge, an unlikely crew of rookies, rivals, fixers, and flexers came together to rewrite the city’s fate.

Told with sharp insight and surprising humor, Drop Dead City digs into this dramatic, little-known chapter of American urban history—one that shaped the future of cities across the country.
