Northeast Passage: The Inner City and the American Dream, a feature length documentary about gentrification and affordable housing in the African American neighborhoods of Northeast Portland Ore. Shot in the late 1990s, the film starkly contrasts city and non-profit efforts to provide affordable housing to the inner city, with the life of Nikki Williams, a black single mom struggling to survive in the ghetto. Northeast Passage paints a picture that is more than black and white. When homeowners replace renters in gentrified neighborhoods race and class lines can blur as the colors fly.
