Synopsis
This documentary is based on the lives of the people, like my family, living in “The Bridge;” the Queensbridge Housing Project.
It’s not about drug dealers, crackheads or prostitutes. These segments of society are not the majority of the 15,000+ residents who reside here.
The majority of Queensbridge residents are hardworking multi-cultural, multi-ethnic families trying to make ends meet; keeping their children off streets and in schools.
The history of “The Bridge,” is told through the stories of these residents.
This documentary speaks of their struggle for change, success in career and life, of those who remain, and those who have moved away; yet many continue to support the community.
The interviews share and reveal an awareness of the community’s triumphs and tragedies. The Queensbridge community would be no different from Westbury Long Island, Scottsdale Arizona, Scarsdale New York or even your neighborhood; if in these neighborhoods, 15,000+ people did not live on top of each other within a six block radius with limited resources and assets. However, we all face the same challenges of raising a family and coping with the daily grinds of life.
This documentary shows that Queensbridge is home in the truest sense of the “American Dream.”
It is no bed of roses, neither is it a bed of thorns.
Heralded as the New York City’s community of choice for post war veterans and their families,1939 marked the construction completion of the Queensbridge Housing Project.“
“The Bridge” from inception was built as a stepping stone for families to save up enough money to buy a house, or rent a larger apartment. A few decades later, most families were unable to achieve the same goals as their predecessors, due chiefly to economic disadvantages.
Now, second and third generations of low income families are trapped in a community which was not designed for permanent living.
These families and individuals try to survive the perils of life in a place they call home, the best way they know how.
“The Bridge” is a place based on emerging ethno-social and religious cultures. Queensbridge has left it’s mark as an important part of New York City’s urban history.
