"Housing 4 All" screening on Thursday 2nd May at the Richmix in Shoreditch

The "Housing 4 All" is a short documentary combining the insight of a political video activist (myself) and the creative editing skills of Vasilis Dendrinos a film maker from Greece. The film describes the struggle of a working class family living in London on a low income which doesn't cover the cost of renting in the private sector. As a result of errors made by the Council, they lost their housing benefit, got evicted and became homeless.The journey of the Counihan-Sanchez family starts with their personal struggle and connects with the political apparatus. The documentary is supported by facts and figures on income, policies, and housing construction.
