Description

The film makers of "A Decent Home" will be presenting two showings of " A Decent Home A Film by Sara Terry" free to the community. When housing on the lowest rung of the American Dream is being devoured by the wealthiest of the wealthy, whose dream are we serving? A DECENT HOME is a feature length documentary film by Sara Terry that addresses urgent issues of class and economic inequity through the lives of mobile home park residents who can’t afford housing anywhere else. The film asks, Who are we becoming as Americans? — as private equity firms and wealthy investors buy up parks, making sky-high returns on their investments while squeezing every last penny out of the mobile home owners who lack rights and protections under local and state laws, and must pay rent for the land they live on. As the pandemic exposes even greater social and economic inequities in the United States, A DECENT HOME is the first documentary to focus on mobile home parks and the injustices faced by park residents. Our engagement campaign uses the film as a tool to help drive awareness and action in support of manufactured housing owner rights. It centers affordable housing in a broad public forum for debate, discussion and advocacy. https://www.adecenthomefilm.com/
