Little Pink House

Susette Kelo, a small-town nurse emerges as the unwilling leader among her working class neighbors in the struggle to save their houses from corporate and political interests that want to seize the land for Pfizer Corporation. Susette fights all the way up to the US Supreme Court. The controversial Kelo vs. City of New London 5-4 ruling gave the government the authority to bulldoze an entire neighborhood to benefit a multibillion dollar corporation. This decision angered Americans from all political stripes, and it fueled reforms to curb abuse of eminent domain. Courttney Balaker
