Synopsis
In the shadow of the new Mets Stadium, the neighborhood of Willets Point, Queens is an industrial zone fated for demolition. Filled with scrapyards and auto salvage shops, the area seems ripe for tourist development. But soon we discover this strange community has a thriving form of commerce involving wrecks, refuse and recycling. Cars are stripped, sorted and cataloged by brand and part, then resold to an endless parade of drive-thru customers. Here, we observe the struggle of the residents of a contested "eminent domain" neighborhood before its disappears under the capitalization of New York's urban ecology.
