West Side Familia: Goddard Riverside Screening

Join us for a screening of West Side Familia, a documentary film directed by Taylor Hosking. Through intimate portraits of this tight-knit community, WEST SIDE FAMILIA follows the story of a Puerto Rican-led neighborhood outlaw crew and community care group from the ‘70s as they struggle to preserve their public traditions and cultural identity in the hyper-gentrified preppy neighborhood of Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The screening will be followed by a Q&A featuring cast and crew from the film. Accessibility Notice: Please note that the 8 steps to enter the auditorium are steep, but the stairwell has a railing. The auditorium is not fully wheelchair accessible, as entry requires the use of an automatic chairlift which a person must be able to transfer themselves into or come with a trusted friend/carer who is capable of physically lifting in/out of the chair.
