Maxine Peake narrates this documentary which focuses on the UK's failed
housing policy. The film traces the root of the current social housing
crisis back to the introduction of the Right to Buy scheme implemented
by Margaret Thatcher and the Conservatives in the 1970s. It argues that
this led to a lack of affordable social housing in many areas of the UK
whilst many local authorities also began to sell some of its buildings
which were in turn either bought and rented out by private landlords or
sold to private property developers to be turned into unaffordable
housing.
The film explores the resultant lack of accessibility
to quality, affordable housing for many and the effect this has on
people's lives.
