Class Divide

Overview

Class Divide delves into the stark contrasts of gentrification and inequality in New York City, focusing on the intersection of 10th Avenue and 26th Street. On one side, the Chelsea-Elliot Houses offer long-standing affordable housing to low-income families, while directly across the street lies Avenues: The World School, a prestigious private institution established in 2012. As students from these two vastly different backgrounds interact, the film uncovers the complexities and challenges of bridging their disparate worlds, highlighting the social divide that shapes their lives and futures.
