Push
A documentary exploring the new, unliveable city.
Directed by Fredrik Gertten
Produced by WG Film AB
A sobering investigative documentary that traces the global housing crisis through the lens of human rights, exposing systemic displacement and the commodification of shelter.
Housing prices are skyrocketing in cities around the world. Incomes are not. PUSH sheds light on a new kind of faceless landlord, our increasingly unliveable 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’s travelling 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.
