In a world dominated by cars, what happens when a city dares to reimagine its streets? The documentary Changing Lanes, directed by Ben Wolf, explores the high-stakes urban revolution transforming metropolises from New York to Paris. The film follows visionary figures like former New York City Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan and musician and cycling advocate David Byrne, who challenge the status quo with a radical proposition: prioritizing people over automobiles. As these activists and planners face political resistance, public skepticism, and deeply ingrained cultural habits, the film chronicles the intense battle to reclaim public space for bikes, buses, and pedestrians. This compelling and timely documentary captures the friction and promise of a global movement, asking whether our cities can change lanes toward a safer, healthier, and more equitable future.
