You can never have too many reminders about Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn's Walkathon Week, the series of events leading up to their fundraising Walkathon on Saturday, Oct. 21.

This Land is Your Land with filmmakers. "A feature length, 82-minute, documentary film THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND is a startling and often hilarious exploration of the overwhelming corporate takeover of American life. Over the course of three years, the filmmakers traveled across the U.S., interviewing award-winning authors, historians, media commentators and ordinary citizens about the wide range of ways individuals and society at large experience this impact." DJ Motormouth performs after the film.
