Push (2019) (2019)

Plot

Skyrocketing housing prices clash with stagnant incomes, revealing a crisis affecting urban dwellers worldwide. PUSH explores the emergence of faceless landlords and the dire state of our cities. Rather than focusing on gentrification, the documentary highlights a more insidious issue. Leilani Farha, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, embarks on a global journey to uncover who is being displaced and the reasons behind it. Farha emphasizes the critical distinction between housing as a human right and commodities like gold, advocating for the fundamental need for adequate living conditions.
