Directors: Gabriella Kessler, Jean-Loïc Portron
Recently a French film crew came to Braddock (and North Braddock, Braddock Hills, Rankin, Swissvale, East Pittsburgh, Homestead, Duquesne) sensing that the fate of Braddock might well be the same for Western Europe. This is what they discovered: From George Washington to Andrew Carnegie, through the French and Indian War, to the collapse of the steel industry, these few acres along the Monongahela River have always been a battleground. The film – which played at Cannes – lets the people of Braddock tell their stories, as they weave together the past, the present, and the future. (2013; 101min) The director is scheduled to attend. With short: Master Visual Artists: Mark Perrott by Gretchen Neidert.
