Behind The Rent Strike 1974

Set in Liverpool in 1973, this documentary follows the tenants of a housing estate as they go about their everyday lives, leading up to going back on rent. We get a glimpse of the human struggle behind a national scandal.

​

Behind the rent strike was Nick Broomfield's graduating film from the National Film School.

​

We are honoured that Nick Broomfield will be attending the festival on the 5th September in conversation about his career and a Q & A. See here for more details.

Please also see the 18th Sep and programme updates for more of Nick's films being screened as part of this years festival.
