Second Run's TASKAFA: STORIES OF THE STREET reveals ESTATE, A REVERIE (review)

Andrea Luka Zimmerman explores gentrification and displacement in two vastly different documentaries.  TASKAFA: STORIES OF THE STREET is told through the eyes of the street dogs of Istanbul and the people who call them pets, friends, and protectors.  In ESTATE, A REVERIE, Zimmerman offers portraits of the daily lives of a group of residents living in a problem council estate bound for demolition.
