War In The Neighborhood offers a creative and highly subjective documentation of those years. Although names have been changed and fantasized elements have been added, Tobocman revisits the violent battles with the police, the local characters who organized and rehabbed the squats and the slow disintegration of the movement, and the complex infighting among the squatters, who not only were fighting city hall but confronting poverty, paranoia, drug addiction, and class conflicts within their own membership. The combination of the stark black-and-white woodcut-style of his drawings and the passion and the brutal honesty of Tobocman’s live narration will produce an amazingly compelling story of urban housing policy that appeals to audiences no matter their politics. |
