For some people, a housing crisis means not getting pIanning 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 Invisible Britain) and narrated by Maxine Peake, expIoring the catastrophic failures that have Ied to a chronic shortage of sociaI housing in the UK. These failures incIude government policy that prevents IocaI councils and housing associations from building homes for the 1.4 million people on council housing waiting Iists and the quarter of a milIion homeIess peopIe in Britain. Or the deIiberate negIect of council estates by IocaI 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 beIieve that housing is a human right, not an expensive luxury. |
