Le documentaire Dansaert legacy retrace la genèse du projet artistique et sportif de bball in the sky sur la place du nouveau marché aux grains (Bruxelles, Belgique). Il met en exergue notamment l’importance des infrastructures sportives en plein air et les collaborations multiples entre l’initiateur du projet, Mehdi Ould Kherroubi Hacine-Bey, et ses différentes partenaires: l’artiste Dema (CNN199), son fournisseur en peinture Khalid (Victoria Paint) et certains usagers de la place. Ainsi, ce projet audio-visuel tente d’expliciter le processus de réappropriation territoriale par des (anciens) habitants du quartier, historiquement peuplé par des personnes d’origine étrangère issues de la classe populaire mais qui fait l’objet d’une gentrification Massive.
