This documentary explores the widespread issue of housing being treated as a commodity, leading to unaffordability, through the perspective of Leilani Farha, a UN special rapporteur on housing residing in Canada.

The documentary examines the global housing crisis, where the working class and poor are struggling to afford homes in major cities, despite housing being a basic human right. It features interviews with individuals feeling pushed out of their hometowns, highlighting the commodification of housing and real estate as the core issue. Major corporations and investors, including pension funds, are contributing to the problem, prioritizing profits over people's needs.
