What happens when a global housing crisis collides with a belief that “home” is a fundamental human right? How does that belief in everyone’s right to a safe, affordable home swell out into an unstoppable tide? When – and how – can individual helplessness start to feel and behave like Power?
This film follows Living Rent, a growing group of tenants and community organisers in Scotland determined to end the misery and isolation caused by profiteering landlords, and a housing system that treats people’s homes as an investment. Their idea is simple: to build a union of tenants that brings people across Scotland together to fight for tenants’ rights, repairs, affordable rents and social housing through grassroots community power.
What happens when those same people dare to aim higher? When their access to government and sheer weight of numbers suggest they may be the social force needed to re-invent housing for the 21st century in Scotland?
AND NUMBERS WE SHALL BRING is an intimate glimpse into Living Rent, and the hopes, dreams and challenges of its members as it works to transform a broken housing system into the homes we so desperately need.
