Thinking Beyond the Market: A film about genuinely affordable housing

A film by Brian Doucet

 

Housing is one of the biggest challenges facing our country.

Everyone’s talking about it, and everyone has their own ideas about how to solve the housing crisis

But what if we need to think bigger?

What if we need to think beyond what the market can do?

What if it’s not just a question of how much housing?

But what kind of housing, and for whom?

Join Dr Brian Doucet as he goes across Canada to learn about policies, programs and projects that are helping to ensure housing is a human right.

This film challenges us to think about the root causes of the housing crisis and how many solutions are hiding in plain sight!

Running time: 86 minutes Written and directed by: Brian Doucet Produced by: George Liu Music by: Dave Mansell
