7Urban renewal left lasting scars, but many Americans are unaware of how their city came to be pocked and fragmented by parking lots, expressways, Brutalist buildings, and crime-plagued high-rise public housing projects. A new 69-minute documentary by Stephen Blauweiss and Lynn Woods, entitled Lost Rondout: A Story of Urban Removal, tells how a federally funded 1960s urban renewal project devastated the waterfront district of Kingston, New York, a microcosm of the urban disruption that occurred all over America. Three years in the making, Lost Rondout was co-produced and co-directed by Stephen Blauweiss, a filmmaker specializing in artists' documentaries, and Lynn Woods, a reporter and author, both of whom are based in Kingston.
