La demolicion de 5th Street Squat (Video, 1997)

Tomé este video super8 hace casi diez años en la mañana en que el gobierno de la ciudad demolió de manera ilegal el edificio de la calle 5 del este 537-539 en Nueva York. Hubo un fuego pequeño interior y el gobierno de la ciudad, violando una orden judicial, se movió rápidamente para destruir el edificio con las pertenencias de los residentes y los animales domésticos aún dentro. Brad se había ocultado en su interior y como la garra arruinadora comenzó a romper en el edificio, él subió a la azotea, levantando sus brazos triunfante. Todavía recuerdo la sonrisa desafiante en su cara cuando el policía lo escoltó abajo de la Calle 5 esposado.

1997 footage of the city's illegal demolition of 5th St. Squat while Brad Will was STILL INSIDE

I shot this super8 footage almost ten years ago on the morning that the city illegally demolished the building at 537-539 East Fifth Street in New York City. There had been a small fire inside and the city, in violation of a court order, quickly moved to destroy the building with residents' belongings, pets, and Brad(!) still inside.

I shot this super8 footage almost ten years ago on the morning that the city illegally demolished the building at 537-539 East Fifth Street in New York City. There had been a small fire inside and the city, in violation of a court order, quickly moved to destroy the building with residents' belongings (and pets!) still inside. Brad had been hiding out inside and as the wrecking claw began smashing into the building, he climbed onto the roof, his arms raised triumphantly. I still remember the defiant smile on his face as he was escorted down 5th Street in handcuffs by the police.
