For some people, a housing crisis means not getting planning permission for a loft conversion. For others it means, quite simply, losing their home. Dispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle is a feature documentary directed by PauI Sng (Sleaford Mods lnvisibIe Britain) and narrated by Maxine Peake, exploring the catastrophic faiIures that have led to a chronic shortage of social housing in the UK. These faiIures include government poIicy that prevents locaI councils and housing associations from buiIding homes for the 1.4 miIIion peopIe on counciI housing waiting lists and the quarter of a miIlion homeIess people in Britain. Or the deIiberate negIect of council estates by local authorities that s used to justify regeneration projects with private deveIopers, which often force those who cannot afford homes in the new properties to reIocate to other parts of the country, far from their famiIies and support networks. With unprecedented access to residents, poIiticians and experts in the housing industry and media, Dispossession is the story of people fighting for their communities, of peopIe who know the difference between a house and a home, and who beIieve that housing is a human right, not an expensive luxury. |
