Indy TV # 20: Hannah Dobbz on Her Movie "Shelter: A Squatumentary"

This week on Indy TV, we talk with Hannah Dobbz, a flimmaker and writer, about her movie: "Shelter: a Squatumentary." Hannah screened her movie at St. Joe's in Rochester earlier this month.

"With universally skyrocketing property values, rent and home-ownership have become unaffordable at best and impossible at worst.

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"
