“Made by the Newsreel collective in New York City, this film shows “Operation Move-in,” in which Puerto Rican and Dominican families actively reclaimed unused, vacant housing on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Newsreel #62. “This film captures the militant antecedents to today’s housing reclamation movement in New York City. In 1970, several hundred Puerto Rican and Dominican families reclaimed housing left vacant by the city. They pulled the boards off the doors, cleaned and repaired the buildings and moved in.”

If you can’t make it but want to watch it, the film is available online here.
