Shelter: A Squatumentary (OLD Trailer)

With universally skyrocketing property values, rent and home-ownership have become unaffordable at best and impossible at worst. Thus, people all over the world continue a long tradition of circumventing the expensive price tag and reclaiming this basic human right by squatting. Shelter: a Squatumentary is a documentary film that explores the squatting movement in the East Bay from 2004 to 2007. We follow three examples of the struggle for housing in an unaffordable marketplace such as the San Francisco Bay Area. Hellarity House, Banana House, and Power Machine are stories of squatters who have found one tentative solution to the ongoing housing crisis

That's aimed at the commenters here and on all other squat videos, not those in the video.

There will always be people who disagree with, misunderstand, or blindly hate the squatter lifestyle. It's sad, but it's just the way it is. But when you attack and hate on the "greedy capitalist conformist shits", you're no better than they are, and you give them reason to retaliate the way they do. I agree with those who seek utter freedom via squatting, and someday I may try it myself, but be the bigger person and construct a logical argument. Otherwise, you'll give the ideology a bad name.

@jamesgerms725 first off all most squaters are not communist they are anarchist second of all why would you get a job so that you can end up being a miserable conformist working your ass off for the capitalist machine and the top 10% elite of the us who own about 72% of the wealth in the us(note that most of these people do not work they are just rich ass people who inherited wealth from tyrant monopolies and criminals and own a lot of resources and capital unfairly) fuck that!!!

@FetalJuice88 theres nothing wrong with staying in abandoned houses that no one is using,what gives the banks the right to own these,this is the problem with capitalism the whole concept of property is fucked, property is supposed to b that which u use on a daily basis such as ur car ur house and other personal possessions if the 1% elite property owning greedy cocksuckers (who are just as lazy or even more than the homeless)shared all their un-used wealth there would be no poverty

i MUST see this. As long as there is running water somewhere humans can live. You can dye your hair, wash out your menstrual pads. haha. There should be some dirt, lots of dirt to grow carrots, tomatoes, avacados, beans, potatoes and spinach. Sounding like a troll here.

That is absolutely terrible. Police flashing lights and guns in your face for no reason while you are peacefully sleeping.

They are always uneccessarily violent and intimidating.

I HATE THEM SO MUCH!
