Film Story:

Tucked away in the so-called Great Northeast of Philadelphia, Longford Street is the site of the city’s first planned integrated suburban development. Greenbelt Knoll, as the neighborhood became known, was the project of developer and civil rights proponent Morris Milgrim in the 1950’s. “Neighbors and Nature in Harmony” uncovers a neighborhood’s unique resistance to a segregated society. Through the recollections of lifelong residents, the video captures the past and present character of Greenbelt Knoll and those who live there, revealing how Milgrim’s vision continues to unfold from the neighborhood's nineteen houses.
