THE FILM

From the award-winning writer & director, Colin K. Gray, produced by The Sibs

and executive produced by Lucy Liu, UNZIPPED: An Autopsy of American Inequality

is a searing exposé of the growing affordable housing crisis in America.

This intimate feature documentary focuses on one of the country's most iconic

and income divided zip codes, Venice CA 90291. Once a mecca for artists, outsiders

and a thriving black community, Venice is now the frontline for America's heated battles over gentrification, lack of affordable housing, and homelessness.

With moving, personal profiles of several artist families who struggle to remain in their neighborhood, to bitterly contested community fights over a proposed homeless shelter, UNZIPPED explodes stereotypes and humanizes the lived experiences of people caught in the crossfire of America's growing housing divide.
