26 Blocks Doc

A documentary exploring the inner workings of gentrification; empowering residents to take back their communities. Jersey City's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Drive is 26 blocks long and is the generational home of Jersey City's African American community. With a skyline backdrop of NYC, some would say it's become the victim of hyper-gentrification. As this community combats gentrification displacement, many put their faith into independent candidates who advocate for equitable participation. Local activists and long-time community leaders are now campa

igning against incumbents who they say, have left their community out.

26 Blocks is a documentary miniseries, filmed in Jersey City, NJ, brought to you by a team of local journalists, activists, and concerned citizens. This long-term project is shot with a reality-TV-style, designed to educate and inspire as it follows the community's efforts and questions the status of MLK's infamous dream of inclusion. Join the 26 Blocks Doc Team as we explore the inner workings of Jersey City’s redevelopment and the community’s attempt to participate in it.
