For some people, a housing crisis means not getting planning permission for a loft conversion. For others it means, quite simply, losing their home. Dispossession: The Great Social Housing Swindle is a feature documentary directed by Paul Sng (Sleaford Mods - Invisible Britain) and narrated by Maxine Peake, exploring the catastrophic failures that have led to a chronic shortage of social housing in Britain. The film focuses on the neglect, demolition and regeneration of council estates across the UK and investigates how the state works with the private sector to demolish council estates to build on the land they stand on, making properties that are unaffordable to the majority of people. Dispossession is the story of people fighting for their communities, of people who know the difference between a house and a home, and who believe that housing is a human right, not an expensive luxury.

| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonThe opinions of those who live -- or in many cases have been forced out -- of social housing are one of the film's strengths, highlighting the way that these sell-offs can dismantle communities as well as the buildings they live in. |
| GuardianMike McCahillPaul Sng's documentary offers a carefully balanced, clear-headed study of the myriad ways the UK property market has skewed and malfunctioned in the years since the Thatcher regime established the right-to-buy scheme. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirIn the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire, this new documentary about the parlous state of social housing in Britain takes on grim relevance. |
