This film was made by Christina Lappas and Monika Shankar during the 2009 International Field Program for a project that explored urban housing issues in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It examines housing as a social issue and contains several interviews with residents and experts, who offer insight sinto the complexities that surround housing. The film focuses on Mallaver Villate or Villa of Emergency, which began as an informal settlement, but has since grown into a distinct neighborhood because of the determination and organizing abilities of the people.
