GPB TV RISING UP:

A WESTSIDE STORY PREMIERES MON., NOV. 23, 8 PM

What happens when one person tries to pull off two insanely difficult projects at the same time? In a film described as a story of race, class, billions of dollars and steel, cameras capture the efforts of Home Depot co-founder and Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank. Blank sets out to build the best stadium in the world while also transforming the surrounding African-American neighborhoods that had been left to decay into multi-generational poverty. Viewers will witness the immense construction and fiscal challenges that emerged as the revolutionary Mercedes-Benz Stadium design was attempted and how the project changed lives.
