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