The World That Moses Built
1989 · Film · documentary · 57 min
Directed by Edward Gray, Mark Obenhaus
From the late 1920's through the '60's, Robert Moses built the bridges and highways, parks and parkways, tunnels and expressways of New York, as well as Lincoln Center and the United Nations. However, his public works exacted a human toll; tenements were razed and entire neighborhoods disappeared. This film tells the story of America's "master builder" and his fall from grace in the struggle between public order and individual liberty.

I just finished The World That Moses Built documentary on Vimeo. It's low quality but the only place I could find it. It's my second time watching. Moses was a fascinating man in a fascinating city. https://vimeo.com/340060890
