The
Forgotten City is a soul stirring documentary
taking place in Buffalo, New York exploring
race relations, segregation, crime, and politics.
Through exclusive breathtaking footage and one-on-one
interviews with many citizens and some of Buffalo's
most influential leaders, The Forgotten City
exposes the bitter truth about Buffalo and all
inner cities. It challenges stereotypes, encourages
change and shakes up the status quo. Buffalo
was once a booming city; one of richest in the
United States and is now a place where crime,
racism and poverty plague a once great city.
This film is a personal
journey of two young filmmakers who forged an
unlikely partnership following a 2001 murder;
one a friend of the victim and the other a friend
of the murderer. As a result of this tragedy
the two produced a documentary film exploring
urban American issues with a raw, hard-hitting,
unblinking first-hand look at the way some of
us really live.
