Synopsis
Documentary reveals the story of urban renewal through San Francisco's Fillmore District. The Fillmore represents the story, not only of a neighborhood, but also of a whole social history. In the streets of the Fillmore can be found the stories of the Japanese in San Francisco, from internment to integration; the jazz heyday created by the arrival of thousand of black workers during World War II; and the battle to save the neighborhood from the bulldozers of urban renewal, a struggle faced by neighborhoods across the country during the 1950s and 60s -- and today.
