Presentation of 9 research documentaries

Housing conditions beyond the norm are spreading in large metropolitan regions of the Global North. The rise of homelessness, the expansion of manifold conditions of social vulnerability, the persistence of global migratory fluxes related to economic reasons as well as to wars and crisis, changes in the labor market with the growth of a highly mobile, precarious workforce. These are some of the many factors that are pushing more and more people to live in conditions that are “out of the ordinary”, in a context characterized by skyrocketing housing prices.
Students have explored this large topic by designing grounded research projects that have led to the production of nine short documentaries.
