UWBA’s Housing Justice program is holding a free screening of the documentary, Home is a Hotel at Sunnyvale Community Services in Sunnyvale on November 14. The event begins with a reception, followed by a screening of “Home is a Hotel” which introduces us to a portrait of life on the margins in the most expensive city in the country. Filmed over 5 years, this feature-length documentary looks at inequality in San Francisco through the lens of five residents as they fight to stay housed. The film features a mosaic of strangers bound together by their reliance on this system of single-room occupancy (SRO) hotels to keep a roof over their heads and homelessness at bay.
After the event, we’ll hold a Q&A with the documentary’s director, Kevin Wong, and producer, Kar Yin Tham, moderated by UWBA.
