New DVD: The Greening of Southie

September 12, 2012

We recently added The Greening of Southie to the DBRL collection. The film played at the 2008 True False Film Fest and was co-produced by the makers of the documentary King Corn. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:

A feature documentary about Boston’s first residential green building, and the skeptical workers who are asked to build it. From wheatboard cabinetry to recycled steel, bamboo flooring to dual-flush toilets, the Macallen Building is something different, a leader in the emerging field of environmentally friendly design. But Boston’s steel-toed union workers aren’t sure they like it. And when things on the building start to go wrong, the young developer has to keep the project from unraveling.
