Directed by: Fredrik Gertten

Swedish director Fredrik Gertten returns with PUSH, an eye-opening documentary that exposes the massive financial players who are turning affordable housing markets in major cities into tradable commodities. We see this play out in Toronto where the cost of homes has increased at nearly three times the rate of incomes. Enter Ottawa-based activist Leilani Farha, newly appointed UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing, who is fighting to define affordable housing as a fundamental human right. The film follows Farha, along with great thinkers like Joseph Stiglitz, Saskia Sassen and journalist Roberto Saviano, as she confronts the big business perpetrators who are putting profits ahead of the safety and security of the people.
