The City Of Sensitive Frauds Gentrification Documentary with Mario Riviera and Abe Woodliff
The City of Sensitive Frauds is a gripping and uncompromising documentary directed by Mario Riveira and Abraham Woodliff that exposes the human cost of gentrification in San Francisco and Oakland. What started as a small 15-minute project grew into a full-length film featuring raw street interviews with unhoused residents, conversations with local artists like Gunna Goes Global and Doggtown Dro, and insights from political voices, including former Supervisor Dean Preston. Through unfiltered stories, the film reveals how developers, landlords, and politicians—often presenting themselves as progressive—have accelerated displacement and erased the cultural fabric of the Bay Area. More than just a documentary, it’s a call to action that captures the human cost of profit-driven development and challenges viewers to rethink what “progress” really means for our communities.
