I'm working with a friend who is writing a paper on gentrification in ATL and its effects on people living with HIV. Would someone on your team be down to do a short interview with her (in person or phone), or even answer maybe 5-7 questions over email?

Hi, 

I think I just replied to your friend who asked the question BUT yes an interview would be fine but please email the details to [email protected]

Hi! I work for a women's HIV organization in Atlanta and I'm writing a paper on gentrification in Atlanta and its effects on people living with HIV here. I thought it would be great to interview you as you have been doing a lot of really important investigative work on gentrification for your film, which I'm really excited to see this summer! Would you be willing to do an interview on the phone? Or answer a few questions over email? I promise not to take too much of your time. Thank you!

So so sorry for the late response. Rarely on Tumblr BUT if you’d still like to interview email me here @ [email protected]

#TransformationTuesday | From #Kickstarter pitch to #Harvard talks to #TEDtalks...and back to Harvard again! We're proud to announce that #HarvardUniversity's Kennedy School of Government has invited #TheAtlantaWay to be part of a special Harvard series with the HKS Ash Center of Democratic Governance and Innovation. Check out TAW's piece (link in bio) written by our #film director @iamkingwilliams (King Williams): "Democracy and the Challenge of Affordability: Using Film to Raise the Issue of Housing Affordability." Can you believe that just one year ago we had just finished our #crowdfunding campaign on #Kickstarter? #documentary #gentrification #housing #affordable #atlanta #atl

We’re still looking for interviews

This is our remaining wishlist of people we've been wanting to get to speak on the film. If you know any of these persons or how to get in contact please let us know: Renee Glover - former CEO of the Atlanta Housing Authority Sam Massell - former Mayor of Atlanta Andrew Young - former Mayor of Atlanta William 'Bill' Campbell - former Mayor of Atlanta William 'Billy' Porter Payne - chairman of Atlanta Olympic Committee Shirley Franklin - former Mayor of Atlanta Each one of these people help fit the puzzle of understanding the decisions that happened in Atlanta's development from the side of those in power. We're seeking to get the most well rounded approach and without them, this story isn't the same. -The Team
