“RABBLE ROUSERS is not just a beautiful portrait of a leader and a movement, but a how-to guide for insurgent planners seeking to imagine a better future and organize to make it a reality. If this film doesn’t inspire you to take action for the future of your city, check your pulse.”

“When the film ended, my students spontaneously clapped and cheered. They had a lot of questions and wanted to talk all night about all of the issues the film raises. The story of Frances’ fighting spirit and her humanity and her love of life right there on the screen gave them real hope that another better world really is possible.”

“RABBLE ROUSERS is at once a history of New York’s Lower East Side through the eyes of tenant organizers, and a how-to guide to beating the rich and powerful at their own game. And Frances Goldin is an utterly unforgettable heroine. It’s a joy to watch, and will make you want to go out and raise hell.”

“RABBLE ROUSERS will become an essential part of undergraduate and graduate coursework in American urban history, New York City history, urban policy and politics, and social movements. This riveting film gets directly to what it is - and what always has been - at stake in public conversations about urban redevelopment.”
