Abundant Santa Monica, Santa Monica Forward, and Abundant Housing LA present a special documentary screening with a Q&A with director Nate Houghteling:
From directors Nate Houghteling (American Pathogen, State of Pride) and Yoav Attias (Brick City, Chicagoland) comes a new film that dives headfirst into the housing crisis to explain how we got here and predict where we might be headed. The film takes a human-centered view of the crisis to illuminate the impact of decades of policies that are now choking the Bay Area – and threatening to become a national emergency.

The 80-minute documentary centers on three stories of people navigating the complexity of our housing system – a single father seeking permanent housing for his family, a housing activist promoting new legislation that would streamline production, and a neighborhood group opposing a development in their neighborhood. The film also draws on interviews with some of the leading authorities on housing policy, including Jerusalem Demsas of The Atlantic, writer Noah Smith, and California State Senator Scott Wiener.
Doors open at 6:30, film starts at 7:00
