Jan. 14 - THE EDUCATION OF SONNY CARSON at Maysles Cinema

The epic, six-month long series Rent Control: NYC Documented and Imagined continues this week at the Maysles Cinema. This month, Brooklyn is in focus, and tonight’s film is Michael Campus’ The Education of Sonny Carson (1974). Shot on-location and based on a true story, this story of 1950’s street gangs was described as having a “primal energy that imbues it with terrifying eloquence” by The New York Times when it first premiered.
