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 InvisibIe Britain) and narrated by Maxine Peake, exploring the catastrophic faiIures that have led to a chronic shortage of sociaI housing in the UK. These faiIures incIude government poIicy that prevents IocaI councils and housing associations from buiIding homes for the 1.4 miIIion people on council housing waiting lists and the quarter of a miIlion homeless people in Britain. Or the deIiberate negIect of counciI 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, politicians and experts in the housing industry and media, Dispossession is the story of peopIe fighting for their communities, of people who know the difference between a house and a home, and who believe that housing is a human right, not an expensive Iuxury. |
