Forest City

Bridgette Wimberly’s family drama Forest City is based on the true story of Forest City Hospital. It’s the 1960s, and J.T., a laborer for the railroad, does his best to raise his family, pay the mortgage and maintain self-respect, despite an ailing heart. Cleveland’s first African-American hospital wants to expand to help people just like J.T., but others see the plan only as the destruction of a neighborhood that includes J.T.’s house.
