Synopsis
No Place But Here is a 360 documentary about a precarious housing occupation in an unused Cape Town public hospital. In March of 2017, the social movement Reclaim the City occupied the former hospital, an empty building in Woodstock, a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. What began as symbolic protests against the lack of affordable housing in the inner city eventually attracted hundreds of people in need of housing. This character-driven 360 documentary will immerse the viewer in the occupation, as if they were partaking in the act of reclaiming the building. The medium of VR will allow for a greater solidarity with the occupiers and the film will impart a deeper understanding of what it means to occupy, especially when it is the only viable option you have.
