Learning on ScreenDispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle
- Synopsis
- In 2017 housing rose to the top of the British political agenda for the first time in a generation. But despite the media spotlight, few stories examined the failures that resulted in a chronic shortage of social housing in the United Kingdom. This documentary explores the state of council housing in the UK over the past 30 years. The film reveals how individuals and communities are fighting against the state and private developers, as they try to save their homes from demolition, while investigating the decisions that turned a crisis into a tragedy.
