To live and dream in the UK


Housing Problems (1935)

Directed by Edgar Anstey and Arthur Elton this is a short documentary. We look at the lives of people living in slums in urban England.

While this documentary does come across as a bit stiff and stilted it is still a pretty interesting historical record. The subject matter is part of an evolving question on housing in the UK which is nearly 200 years old now and still some what relevant. I did find this enjoyable even though it is clearly rooted in it's time.

3/5
