Zusammenfassung:
As of 2023, there is no American city or county in which a renter working full time and earning minimum wage can afford a market-rate one-bedroom apartment. In recent decades, as public housing has been systematically defunded and dismantled, Single Room Occupancy hotels have played a private, stop-gap role in providing shelter for those on society's margins. In San Francisco, one of the wealthiest cities in the world, 20,000 residents, including families, call SROs home.Filmed over six years, this character-driven verité documentary immerses viewers in what it means to call a single room home, and demonstrates how the conditions of poverty are all too often cyclical and inherited by younger generations. HOME IS A HOTEL is an expansive journey through cramped spaces against crushing odds in the heart of one of the world's wealthiest cities.
