The Iron Triangle

The 2017 documentary-drama film "The Iron Triangle" explores the story of Willets Point, a historically industrial area in Queens, New York City, as it faces eviction to make way for a proposed high-end entertainment district. The workers of Willets Point fight against the planned development, which would displace hundreds of immigrant-run auto repair shops and threaten their livelihoods. Through the lens of this local struggle, the film delves into New York City's history of deindustrialization, urban renewal, and gentrification, shedding light on the impact of capitalism and urban planning on marginalized communities.
