The Lost Village
A film by Roger Paradiso

The Lost Village is a devastating expose of how Greenwich Village, the epicenter of the counterculture in the 1960s and '70s, is being turned into a wasteland of chain stores, banks and multi-million dollar condos.

This award-winning documentary follows filmmaker Roger Paradiso on a journey through today's Village as he tries to figure out how this 'gentrification on steroids' got started. Talking to journalists, activists, shop-owners, professors and more, he uncovers how the landlords, politicians and NYU turned the Village into a place that is losing its heart and soul.

"Bravely turns the spotlight on an oligarchy of billionaire real estate moguls who rape and plunder the hallowed ground of this historic district. A must-see." - Bennett Kremen, WestView News

"A gripping portrait of the systemic legalized corporate crime spree devouring not only Greenwich Village but all our major urban landscapes. A potent call to arms." - Kurt Jacobsen, Filmmaker/Author

"Like a detective story in which the case becomes darker and darker as we witness the devastating effects of unchecked greed and capitalism on the city and its people." - Enrrico Wood Lagonigro, Senior Curator, Oaxaca FilmFest

"A no-holds-barred assault on NYU for its role in turning Greenwich Village into a wasteland of empty stores, CVS's, banks, and fast food emporiums while simultaneously making its student body pay for its excesses, driving female students to turn to prostitution." - Louis Proyect, Counterpunch

"The Lost Village chronicles the last days of urban Bohemia...bemoaning the increasing commercialization of the former artistic haven."
- Summer Lin, CR Fashion Book
