Housing prices are skyrocketing. Incomes are not. PUSH sheds light on a new kind of faceless landlord, our increasingly unliveable cities and an escalating crisis. This is not gentrification. The film follows Leilani Farha, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, as she  tries to understand who’s being pushed out, and why. 
Directed by Fredrik Gertten / 92 minutes / fully wheelchair accessible theatre
