Dispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle

Take a look into the battle for social housing with this thought provoking documentary that spans the length of Britain in a quest for the truth. Described as “one of the nation’s biggest scandals” it is a must see independent film for fans of powerful documentary.   

For some people, a housing crisis means not getting planning permission for a loft conversion. For others it means, quite simply, losing their home. Dispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle is a feature documentary directed by Paul Sng (Sleaford Mods – Invisible Britain) and narrated by Maxine Peake, exploring the catastrophic failures that have led to a chronic shortage of social housing in Britain. The film focuses on the neglect, demolition and regeneration of council estates in London, Glasgow and Nottingham, and investigates how the state works with the private sector to demolish council estates to build on the land they stand on, making properties that are unaffordable to the majority of people in the UK.
