Jamie Courville and Chris Reynolds: Gowanus Current at the Museum of the City of New York
January 17, 2026
2:00pm – 3:00pm
The Museum of the City of New York
Join us for a film about people, pollution, planning, and real estate on the most toxic 1.8 miles of water in America. Shot over the course of ten years, Gowanus Current employs a strictly observational direct-cinema approach to examine the convictions of this diverse community and the textures of its landscape. A documentary portrait of activism and its limits, this is urgent civic cinema exploring the conflict engendered by a housing crisis, income inequality and a changing climate. A discussion with the filmmakers will follow.
