Скачать или смотреть Lifting 4 Tons For God. Italian Catholics Fight To Survive In Gentrified Brooklyn

For 137 years, Italian Catholics in Brooklyn have carried on a powerful tradition: lifting a 4-ton statue of Saint Paulinus and parading it through the neighborhood. Through heatwaves, rainstorms, wars, and pandemics, this community has kept the Giglio Feast alive across generations.

Now, the tradition faces its greatest threat yet—corporate condo takeovers. Sky-high apartments and soaring rents have transformed this once predominantly Italian, working-class neighborhood into a desolate landscape of chain stores, matcha lattes, and barre studios.

Can this last remnant of true street festival culture survive the wave of corporate development? Can the new transplants embrace the culture of their new neighborhood?

They say we’ve never been lonelier, and society is circling the drain of toxic individualism. We are told nothing can bring us together, but some events are still worth coming together for. In our series GATHERINGS, we explore the communities and events that make people feel like they belong.
