SUMMARY:Push - 6:30PM
DESCRIPTION:Screening:\nSaturday\, February 22\, 2020 – 6:30 pm\nUptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop St. W.\, Barrie \n  \nWritten and Directed by: Fredrik Gertten\nWith: Leilani Farha\, Saskia Sassen\, Joseph Stiglitz\, Roberto Saviano\nDocumentary/Comedy\, PG\, 92 minutes\, Languages: English/ Spanish/German/ Italian/Korean/French/English subtitles (Sweden/Canada/United Kingdom) \n  \n“Fredrik Gertten’s lively\, approachable documentary on the global housing crisis should leave audiences feeling engaged\, enraged and with plenty to discuss afterwards…Potentially depressing material is handled with a light touch and a welcome edge of humour.” – Allan Hunter\, Screen Daily.\n \n  \nHousing prices are skyrocketing in cities around the world. Incomes are not. PUSH sheds light on a new kind of faceless landlord\, our increasingly unliveable cities and an escalating crisis that has an effect on us all. This is not gentrification\, it’s a different kind of monster. The film follows Leilani Farha\, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing\, as she’s travelling the globe\, trying to understand who’s being pushed out of the city and why. “I believe there’s a huge difference between housing as a commodity and gold as a commodity. Gold is not a human right\, housing is\,” says Leilani. \n  \nAWARDS: 7 Wins\nWinner\, Audience Award\, CPH:DOX\, Denmark\, 2019 \n  \n\n  \nTickets are available online By Clicking Here\, or at the Uptown Theatre during the festival (Feb 20-23\, 2020). Box office opens 1 hour before showtime. \nReel Stories is sponsored by Busch Systems\, Digital Giants\, Michael & Marion’s\, Netgain\, Plumbtech Plumbing\, Stewart Esten LLP\, Ingrid and John Van Der Marel. \n\n
