A synopsis of the film is copied below:
From directors Nate Houghteling (American Pathogen, State of Pride) and Yoav Attias (Brick City, Chicagoland) comes a new film that dives headfirst into the housing crisis to explain how we got here and predict where we might be headed. The film takes a human-centered view of the crisis to illuminate the impact of decades of policies that are now choking the Bay Area – and threatening to become a national emergency. The 80-minute documentary centers on three stories of people navigating the complexity of our housing system – a single father seeking permanent housing for his family, a housing activist promoting new legislation that would streamline production, and a neighborhood group opposing a development in their neighborhood. The film also draws on interviews with some of the leading authorities on housing policy, including Jerusalem Demsas of The Atlantic, writer Noah Smith, and California State Senator Scott Wiener.
Fault Lines was recently chosen for the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival.
Advance Praise for FAULT LINES
“None of the primary characters in FAULT LINES are ‘bad guys’. They are all citizens doing their best to improve their city, their neighborhood, or themselves. The municipal processes which we have stumbled into twist these virtues into a vice. One of the pleasures of watching this film is that the various players are presented on their own terms, in their own words. The municipal processes that turn their virtues into vices have created such a morass of dissatisfaction and tragedy that it is enough to simply show the wheels turning and their consequences, and the viewer can connect the dots. FAULT LINES is the antidote to its toxic predecessors. It is the documentary I have been waiting for. It is the documentary that Americans need to see." Kevin Erdmann, Mercatus Center at George Mason University
