Razing Liberty Square is a 2023 documentary film about the demolition and redevelopment of Liberty Square, a public housing apartment complex in the Liberty City neighborhood of Miami, Florida.
Reception
A review in Cineaste acknowledged that the film "arguably covers too much ground", but stated that "it is undeniably powerful to see families moving into their new homes and justifiably infuriating to see the residents experience cracks, leaks, and mold—a vivid metaphor for the lack of improvement."
