Acknowledgements

The production of Undercurrents was only made possible by the insight and generosity of many people both from the NYU Carter School of Journalism and from the Gowanus neighborhood itself. THANK YOU for allowing me to tell this story.

Additionally, I would like to personally thank Professor Jason Samuels, who sponsored my research and guided me through this project to completion. Along with that, thank you to the Advanced Honors Broadcast Journalism Class of 2015 for your patience and feedback throughout the last year. Special thanks to Michael Shade and Garrett Gardner of NYU for your technical expertise. Special thanks to Avu Chaturvedi and Gerard Napolitano for production and filming assistance.

Undercurrents was written, filmed and produced by Alexandra Cass. (2015)
