Dispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle (2017)
Urgent and Incendiary Documentary exposing London's war on Social Housing
16 July 2017 - 13 out of 13 users found this review helpful.
"Dispossession" delves into the escalating attack on social housing estates, and social housing tenants, in London. The phenomenon is global, but the film goes directly to those affected and those who are attempting to fight back against aggressive (big-money, low-ethics) interests driving predatory development. The film is very timely, having come out within weeks of the Grenfell Tower fire, and in the midst of ongoing UK election.
Anyone interested in housing as a civil right, and a human right, must see this film. Interviews with tenants, community organizers, architects, urbanist, scholars and involved politicians, provide a wide range of genuinely informed testimony.
