Up On The Roof 2008

A documentary film about family, community, and pigeons

Directed by J.L. Aronson

All along the waterfront and throughout blue collar Brooklyn, pigeon keeping has been an active pastime for centuries, passed down from one group of residents to the next. But as with so many once blighted and now hip districts throughout the world, Brooklyn--and Williamsburg in particular--is being scrubbed of its character to make way for a new urbanism.
