How can you tell the story of a social issue like the affordable housing crisis in the U.S.? What does this story reveal about wealth and inequality in America? And when many of society’s problems are often only represented by data, reports, and statistics, what does it take to make a compelling documentary?

In this event, Sara Terry will present her film “A Decent Home,” and discuss how and why she spent six and a half years on this project which addresses issues of class and economic inequality through the lives of mobile home park residents who can’t afford housing anywhere else.
