Dispossession: the reality of the decimation of social housing

A new film, Dispossession, lifts the lid on the desperate state of social housing and gives voice to those being pushed out of those homes, as Jamie Hailstone reports.

Directed by Paul Sng and narrated by Maxine Peake, Dispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle is a hard-hitting 90-minute documentary, which explores the chronic shortage of social housing in this country and focuses on several controversial regeneration projects around London.
