Gravitas Ventures and Electrolift Creative are teaming up to present the riveting documentary, Gotham: The Fall and Rise of New York, available on demand starting March 21, 2023, on all major providers including Prime Video, iTunes, and Google Play.
The documentary delves into the history of New York City and the incredible story of its six mayors who served from 1966 to 2013. Witness firsthand how a city, once plagued with over 2,200 murders, 93,000 violent robberies, and more than 500,000 annual felonies, rose from the ashes to become one of the greatest comeback stories in American history.
Featuring twenty-six interviews, archival footage, and re-enactments, Gotham provides a compelling insight into how a city turnaround is possible. The film showcases the blood, sweat, hard work, innovation, and creativity of a handful of heroes who were willing to challenge the status quo, highlighting the importance of their actions.
Matthew Taylor, writer, director, and producer of Gotham, expressed his desire to give the audience a historical sense of what happened during this tumultuous time and how the city was able to change its perception of crime, which can serve as a blueprint for revitalizing other great cities.
The documentary features candid interviews with former NYC mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, and former NYPD commissioners Ray Kelly and William “Bill” Bratton, along with interviews with more than a dozen important figures who helped resurrect the city and those who bore witness, including Peter Vallone (Former Speaker, New York City Council), Joel Klein (Former Chancellor, New York City Department of Education), Robert Doar (Former Commissioner, New York City Human Resources Administration), Dan Biederman (President, Biederman Redevelopment Ventures), Fred Siegel (Contributing Editor, City Journal), Joe Klein (Journalist & Best Selling Author), Lee Bowes (CEO, America Works), Peter Cove (Founder, America Works), Michael Goodwin, Columnist, New York Post), and many others.
