Section 6
The documentary is an investigation into what it means to be a squatter. We are meeting with and talking to several squatters about their experiences, what it means to each of them to be a squatter and the reasons behind them squatting. We want to show the public that not all squatters fit into the stereotype, that many of them are tidy and pleasant people who want a roof over heads and home to call their own. We will tell each of their stories through the documentary, looking at the differences between each of them and showing how varied the squatting community is.
The documentary will follow the story of 6 squatters, examining how they became squatters, why they did, whether it is was a choice or not and will tell the amazing stories that each of them have. We want to allow the squatters to tell us about their experiences without us massively influencing their responses, it is important to us that they tell us their stories and that we are not extracting them from them.
We will not be involved in our documentary as we feel it would take away from the stories of the people we meet, we are telling their stories and showing their journey not our own.
