Why can’t we afford to live in our cities? This question is at the heart of this probing documentary in which Leilani Farha, the former UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, travels around the world trying to find out what is happening to make homes in our cities unaffordable. When something as simple as a place to live is denied to so many people, she ponders why a home is not a basic human right, instead of becoming a market commodity that benefits faceless landlords and makes housing unaffordable.
