PAPER TIGER TELEVISION WOULD LIKE TO ORGANIZE A SCREENING OF Right to the City IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

RTTC logo

Screenings of the Right to the City documentary are designed to be an organizing tool to educate people about the RTTC movement, how it affects the members of your community and how to get involved. We can provide a projector, help with publicity and outreach and arrange a Q&A or a panel discussion with filmmakers and RTTC alliance members. Documenting months of on-the-ground organizing, this 28-minute video is a great way to introduce people to how the Right to the City (RTTC) Alliance is addressing the root causes of social problems and having a real impact on the way NYC is developed.

Contact us if you are interested in organizing a screening in your community, organization, or institution.
