Presented by the Chester County Partnership to End Homelessness (CCPEH) and Kennett Library as part of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week 2023
"UNZIPPED" is a searing exposé of the growing affordable housing crisis in America. This intimate feature documentary takes you to Venice, CA 90291, one of the country's most iconic and income-divided zip codes. Once a mecca for artists, outsiders, and a thriving black community, Venice is now the frontline for America's heated battles over gentrification, lack of affordable housing, and homelessness.
This powerful film presents moving, personal profiles of artist families who are fighting to remain in their neighborhood. It delves into the bitterly contested community fights over a proposed homeless shelter. "UNZIPPED" breaks down stereotypes and humanizes the lived experiences of people caught in the crossfire of America's growing housing divide.
