Get to Know Chicago's Pilsen Neighborhood With These Documentaries
Pilsen is a vibrant Chicago neighborhood where longtime residents are facing a wave of development—some of it not so welcome.
You can get to know this changing neighborhood in a new documentary from the Chicago PBS affiliate WTTW called “My Neighborhood: Pilsen,” set to air April 27 at 7 p.m. CST. Besides the documentary, WTTW will also incorporate a “website and community engagement initiative that will cover a year of stories from the people who are transforming their community from the inside out.”
If you want to dive into Pilsen right now, though, Curbed Chicago points out there’s an older WTTW documentary about the neighborhood available to stream right now.
