A documentary exploring the new, unliveable city.

Overview

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.

A review by SWITCH.
Written by SWITCH. on 2020-07-22
“Who is going to live in cities? Who are cities for?“ Farha wonders a few minutes into the documentary. “What do we think people need to have in order to have a dignified life?“ These are vitally important questions that we should all ask ourselves by the end of Fredrik Gertten's 'Push'.
