Genesee County Land Bank Documentary
Description
The Genesee County Land Bank is the first land bank of its kind in the United States. To mark its 20th anniversary in 2024, this film, directed by Robin Schwartz and Grayson Beras, illustrates the many ways the land bank is transforming Flint, Michigan and beyond. Hear the real stories of the people caring for vacant land, planting gardens, rehabbing abandoned homes, carrying out demolitions, becoming first-time homeowners, building new businesses, investing in Flint, and breathing new life into this resilient, enduring city. Flint embodies a spirit of champions, hope, and perseverance with the land bank at its heart. There will be an opportunity for a brief Q&A with the land bank following the documentary.
