Push by Fredrik Gertten – Sweden | 2019 – 92 minutes

Housing prices are skyrocketing in cities around the world. Incomes are not. ‘Push’ sheds light on a new kind of faceless landlord, our increasingly unlivable cities and an escalating crisis that has an effect on us all. This is not gentrification, it’s a different kind of monster. The film follows Leilani Farha, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, as she travels the globe, trying to understand who’s being pushed out of the city and why. “I believe there’s a huge difference between housing as a commodity and gold as a commodity. Gold is not a human right, housing is,” says Leilani. (FFF Website)

The film screening of ‘Push’, and the presence of filmmaker Fredrik Gertten is suppported by the Embassy Of Sweden.
