Class Divide is a documentary that delves into the socio-economic disparities in New York City, particularly in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. The film focuses on the contrasting lives of the students attending Avenues: The World School, a private school catering to the city's elite, and the residents of the nearby Chelsea-Elliot Housing Projects. Through the stories of a teenage boy from the housing project and a little girl from a wealthy family, the film sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals living in poverty and the impact of gentrification on the community. Issues like access to quality education, housing, and economic opportunities are explored, along with the consequences of class differences. The film also touches on themes of race, privilege, and the resilience of individuals striving for a better future.

A few years back, Manhattan couple Jim Glaub and Dylan Parker inexplicably began receiving children’s letters to Santa Claus at their Chelsea apartment. In 2010, what had been a trickle turned into a tide, with Glaub and Parker receiving more than 400 letters—many from children who pleaded with Santa to give them the Christmas their parents couldn’t afford. Filmmaker Sarah Klein (co-founder of the production house Redglass Pictures with Tom Mason) found out about the letters, and followed Glaub and Parker’s efforts to turn a freak occurrence into an opportunity to spread holiday cheer.
