Brick City is an American television documentary series on the Sundance Channel, created and directed by filmmakers Mark Benjamin and Marc Levin. The series captures the daily drama of a community striving to improve. Against great odds, Newark's citizens and its mayor, Cory Booker, fight to raise the city out of nearly a half century of violence, poverty and corruption.
It won a Peabody Award in 2009 "for its honest and passionate exposition of the lives and institutions that make up a community, and for its inspiring yet sometimes skeptical look at the trials embedded within the struggle for a better future."[1]
