Let's Build Homes is pleased to present a special screening of Fault Lines: Inside America's Housing Crisis with VTIFF at Main Street Landing Film House in Burlington.
From directors Nate Houghteling (American Pathogen, State of Pride) and Yoav Attias (Brick City, Chicagoland) comes a new film that dives headfirst into the epicenter of the housing crisis, to explain how we got here and predict where we might be headed. This acclaimed documentary follows a single father searching for stable housing, a pro-housing activist fighting for legislative change, and a neighborhood group pushing back against new development. Across these parallel stories, the film asks a question that defines our moment: we know how to build more homes, so what's stopping us? Featuring interviews with housing policy leaders, including The Atlantic's Jerusalem Demsas and California State Senator Scott Wiener, Fault Lines is an urgent, humanizing look at the forces driving America's housing system—and threatening to become a national emergency.
Fault Lines takes a street level approach to the intersecting issues of affordability, homelessness, and legislation, using human stories to illuminate the impact of decades of policies. The film focuses on the Bay Area, but Vermont is in the middle of this story. Join us for a panel discussion after the film about what it all means for our state.
