My good friend knew I was interested in all things positive about Harlem so she said to me &#8220;come see a film rough cut about Harlem. There is this filmmaker I want you to meet, who is literally documenting the changes of Harlem. I think you should come.&#8221; And so I did. I&#8217;m excited to tell you about this documentary about Harlem!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11596\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11596\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/760578414\/changing-face-of-harlem\/widget\/video.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11596\" title=\"Photo\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/photo.jpeg\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trailer- Changing Face of Harlem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The rough cut I saw was titled the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/760578414\/changing-face-of-harlem?ref=live\" target=\"_blank\">Changing Face of Harlem<\/a><\/em>. It&#8217;s been in the works for more than ten years. The <em>Changing Face of Harlem<\/em>\u00a0is a film told from the voices of longtime residents, business owners, politicians, developers, and clergy about the dreams and struggles of a neighborhood. This film explains Harlem\u2019s intricate history and how Harlem is undergoing a huge rebirth and revival just like many other urban communities of color.\u00a0<em>Changing Face of Harlem<\/em>\u00a0takes a critical look at how Harlem has undergone its present transformation.<\/p>\n<p>When a filmmaker sets out to create a documentary especially about Harlem, it takes a lot of hard work-to say the least. That hard work leads to hundreds of hours of footage that needs to be edited. Shawn, the women behind the <em>Changing Face of Harlem<\/em>, is ready to go into the editing booth to complete her documentary on Harlem. You and I can help her get into the editing booth soon to complete her film. How? By going to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/760578414\/changing-face-of-harlem?ref=live\" target=\"_blank\">Kickstarter.com<\/a>. Go to Kickstarter to make a donation at various levels. It can be $15 or $1500. Shawn&#8217;s goal is to raise $5k this summer so that she can hire an editor.<\/p>\n<p>I made a donation to help Shawn get into the editing booth. I hope you will join me in helping to kickstart and complete the documentary titled the <em>Changing Face of Harlem<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the film, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.changingfaceofharlem.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.changingfaceofharlem.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qjDaLy3rhuU] HarlemGal for HarlemCondoLife A few years ago a good friend of mine, who&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":832535,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[101912,179,103804,124718155,678,124715448,398,3225],"tags":[57574930,57299,524,20334,124718158,57574932],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11581"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11581"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11581\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24528,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11581\/revisions\/24528"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/832535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/harlemcondolife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
