Description
Dispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle (2017) is a feature documentary directed by Paul Sng and narrated by Maxine Peake, exploring the catastrophic failures that have led to a chronic shortage of social housing in Britain.
The film focuses on the neglect, demolition and regeneration of council estates across the UK and investigates how the state works with the private sector to demolish council estates to build on the land they stand on, making properties that are unaffordable to the majority of people.
Dispossession is the story of people 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 luxury.

“An important and timely film.” – The Observer
“The housing crisis is one of our nation’s biggest scandals and this film shows us it’s deliberate. A must see independent film.” – Michael Sheen
