Film: Straight Line Crazy

Introduced by David Hare, a Festival screening of the British playwright’s drama Straight Line Crazy, starring Ralph Fiennes, explores the impact of urban planner Robert Moses, one of the most powerful and influential figures in New York. Initially motivated by a determination to improve the lives of the city’s workers, Moses was ultimately challenged by a group of campaigners who felt he had lost touch with the needs of ordinary citizens.
