Movie Info

Housing 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.

[A] thought-provoking documentary...

Top Critic
This is a complicated argument, and it's a credit to Farhani and to Gertten that they manage to make this polemic so clear and compelling. It is, in fact, a bit too clear for its own good.

Push is a rude and necessary wakeup call to the state of fair housing around the world.

This timely doc is certain to resonate with anyone (everyone?) puzzled, shocked or traumatized by the outlandish prices of rent and property across the globe.

Andrew Parker
The Gate
Fredrik Gertten's lively, approachable documentary on the global housing crisis should leave audiences feeling engaged, enraged and with plenty to discuss afterwards.
