Monumental Change: Expansion At All Costs
Documentary | 28:41
Monumental Change tells the story of Monument Cemetery, a once-prominent cemetery in the heart of North Philadelphia that was destroyed in the 1950s, with traces of its past still found throughout the city. With the cemetery as backdrop, the film explores North Philadelphia’s history of expansion, gentrification, and how the removal of the dead in the 1950s echoes the removal of the living today.
