Watch now: San Juan Hill: Manhattan's Lost Neighborhood

Watch the documentary.

San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood, narrated by Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), traces the legacy of the neighborhood that once existed in the area where Lincoln Center now stands; a neighborhood that nurtured luminaries in ragtime, stride, jazz, bebop, mambo and other Afro-Caribbean forms, visual arts, theater, and more.

The film premiered at the 62nd New York Film Festival and has been screened at dozens of community screenings and festivals, including Hawai’i International Film Festival, Pan African Film Festival, and African Diaspora Film Festival. Now, for the first time, you can watch it at home, for free, on YouTube.
