If you don’t know the story of the Palisades Center in West Nyack, don’t miss this! If you do know the story, you might want a refresher, because the Town of Clarkstown may be voting on permission to let the mall expand*. In 1985 a mall developer came to Rockland County to build its biggest mall on a toxic dump, sparking a citizen uprising that lasted almost 20 years. Megamall is a gripping account of that dramatic grass-roots struggle. 2009, USA, 81 minutes
Discussion with the filmmakers moderated by Nancy Cutler, People and Policy reporter for the Journal News / LoHud.
