Join 5th Square organizers and volunteers for an advance screening of the 80-minute documentary, Fault Lines, at Indy Hall in Northern Liberties! 

This is an exclusive screening of this documentary ahead of its festival run in the fall and will be followed by a short discussion on parallels to our fight for housing here in Philadelphia.

FAULT LINES: A Powerful Documentary on the National Housing Crisis

From directors Nate Houghteling (American Pathogen, State of Pride) and Yoav Attias (Brick City, Chicagoland) comes a new film that dives headfirst into the housing crisis to explain how we here and predict where we might be headed. The film takes a human-centered view of the crisis to illuminate the impact of decades of policies that are now choking the Bay Area – and threatening to become a national emergency.

The 80-minute documentary centers on three stories of people navigating the complexity of our housing system – a single father seeking permanent housing for his family, a housing activist promoting new legislation that would streamline production, and a neighborhood group opposing a development in their neighborhood. The film also draws on interviews with some of the leading authorities on housing policy, including Jerusalem Demsas of The Atlantic, writer Noah Smith, and California State Senator Scott Wiener.

If you have been meaning to check out one of our events or meetings but haven't made it out yet, this will be a good first one to come to.

This event is all ages and ADA Accessible.
