    Summary:
    In a highly controversial and precedent-setting decision in mid-2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution permitted local governments to use their power of eminent domain to forcibly acquire private property and transfer it to another private owner. This documentary examines the personal struggles of residents impacted by Philadelphia's urban renewal program and illustrates how housing activists are fighting eminent domain abuse. Background commentary is provided by Dr. Mindy Fullilove of Columbia University and Scott Bullock, a senior attorney who litigates cases involving property rights and free speech for the Institute of Justice in Washington, D.C.
