Speculation Nation

Bill Brown and Sabine Gruffat

75 min., video, 2014, USA/Spain

“Bill Brown and Sabine Gruffat travel across Spain to document the consequences of the housing crisis. What they find are Spanish citizens, inspired by the politics of The 15M Movement and Occupy Wall Street, who mobilize, collectivize and fight for the right to a decent place to live.

“Along the way, the filmmakers visit young mothers and their families squatting in failed condo developments; intentional communities of mountain cave dwellers; protest campsites that have sprung up in front of bank branches; and empty apartment buildings transformed into experiments in Utopian living.” – Bill Brown and Sabine Gruffat
