Last year’s documentary Wild West of Broad won Best Documentary Student Film at First Glance Film Festival this past week.
Wild West of Broad chronicles the changes within the North Philadelphia community over the past several decades. The neighborhood’s interactions with Temple and its ensuing effects have resonated throughout each block in the area and far beyond the expanding confines of Temple’s Main Campus. Told through the narratives of those who have seen these changes occur, this documentary explores how the community has come to this point and what the future may hold.
