The heart of St. Petersburg, which is now a clearing of asphalt, once had a pulse.

A documentary released last February brought that story to local audiences and continues to gain momentum.

Homegrown documentary “Razed” is set to breathe life into the Gas Plant District’s 86 acres two more times — with newly announced screenings taking place on Oct. 25 at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and Dec. 16 at the James Museum.

Directed by Roundhouse Creative’s Andrew Lee and Tara Segall and produced by St. Petersburg historian and former Gas Plant resident Gwendolyn Reese, “Razed” tells the story of the historic Gas Plant District, a historic Black neighborhood that became collateral in the City of St. Petersburg’s pursuit of a major league baseball team.

On top of hosting more screenings of the documentary’s director’s cut, the “Razed” team is preparing to share a new version of the film that centers communities that have shared a similar fate with the Gas Plant District.

“Local interest in Razed remains high since we first premiered the film for its cast and community in February 2025, and the conversations around this topic remain extremely relevant,” Lee and Segall said in a statement to Creative Loafing. “We’re planning to share Razed with national audiences through a new cut of the film that focuses on similar stories throughout the nation, where sports stadiums have displaced communities of color.”
