AIA Orange County Movie Night Citizen Jane: Battle for the City

Join us on March 13th at 6 pm for the exclusive screening of "Citizen Jane: Battle for the City" at the AIA Orange County office.

As a part of the newly launched Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, this movie is geared towards celebrating design justice and diversity in architecture and planning.

Citizen Jane is a timely tale of what can happen when engaged citizens fight the power for the sake of a better world. Arguably no one did more to shape our understanding of the modern American city than Jane Jacobs, the visionary activist and writer who fought to preserve urban communities in the face of destructive development projects. Director Matt Tyranuer (Valentino: The Last Emperor) vividly brings to life Jacobs 1960s showdown with ruthless construction kingpin Robert Moses over his plan to raze lower Manhattan to make way for a highway, a dramatic struggle over the very soul of the neighborhood.

AIA Orange County thanks Studio Pi2, and Principal Manju Pi for sponsoring the movie. Studio2 is a boutique architecture firm in Irvine, CA, providing architectural and interior design services.
