To The People Like Us
White Snake Projects
To the People Like Us is an original story exploring issues of gentrification and its impacts on climate in Boston. Teen activist Costanza organizes her neighborhood against the Sirleaf Corporation, who intends to build a new development by razing their apartments and bodega, aided by her vacillating friend Malakai. Indigo, a newcomer to the neighborhood, attempts to make friends with them and joins their protest group. Sparks fly when Costanza makes a discovery about Indigo that changes all of their relationships with each other.
