- REBUILDING THE SOUTH BRONX: THE STORY OF SEBCO: a Documentary film by Tony De Nonno captures the remarkable twenty-five year transformation from the early 1970s to the South Bronx in 1997-- from an International Symbol of Urban Blight to an Internationally Renowned Model of Urban Renewal. Award-winning filmmaker Tony De Nonno interweaves powerful historical visuals of almost total devastation, with passionate and inspiring testimony, of the people who lived, believed and came together with a common vision of unity and sacrifice to save their neighborhood and rebuild it for future generations. In the early 1960's, the Hunts Point section of the Bronx was a thriving diverse community of 90,000 residents. Then suddenly-- fires raging-- buildings crumbling-- over 60,000 New York City residents abandoned this almost mortally wounded community - leaving it to street gangs, drug dealers, slum lords and packs of wild dogs. A young priest, Father Louis Gigante, heard the cries of the people and took to the streets with a mission. This modern day Nehemiah, (who saved Jerusalem in the bible) rallies the support of 13 community groups and a core of dedicated followers - behind on simple belief - rebuild Hunts Point and give our people a chance to live self-sufficiently in decent affordable housing. That vision, 45 years ago, gave birth to the South East Bronx Community Organization known as SEBCO-- whose vast accomplishments include scores of new homes and an impressive array of renovated apartment buildings, libraries, parks, hospitals and tree lined streets. Today Hunts Point is a thriving community rebuilt, policed and administrated by its proud residents. It is a living testimony of neighbors working with neighbors to save, rebuild, preserve and transform their neighborhood into a dream community.
