Synopsis
Liberty Heights (1999) is a drama to watch online on iFILM, directed by Barry Levinson as a semi-autobiographical portrait of Jewish Baltimore in 1954. The Kurtzman family is navigating a year of quiet upheaval — suburban, Jewish, and suddenly aware that the city around them is shifting.
Teenage Ben falls for Sylvia, a Black classmate from across every boundary his neighbourhood quietly enforces. His brother Van gets tangled up with a wealthy WASP girl from a different world. Their father scrambles to keep a burlesque club alive as the neighbourhood changes beneath him. Adrien Brody and Ben Foster play the brothers; Joe Mantegna their father. Levinson doesn't lecture — he just shows people bumping into the walls of their era. Stream Liberty Heights online on iFILM.
