Shelter in the Palace
about:
A searing chronicle of a 58-day standoff between a group of mothers and local government forces culminates in a military siege on a family home.
These events captured the imagination and conversation around the national housing crisis and the global, civil rights movement for housing as a human right.

This film is a collaborative work by InCommon Collective — a gathering of filmmakers, lawyers, artists, street journalists, housing advocates, photographers, activists, academics, media makers and some of the mothers themselves, all of whom came together to document the Moms 4 Housing action at 2928 Magnolia. Through shared media, photographs, clips, counsel, ideas, insight, commitment, and labor, each contributed to the making of this film. What follows is the result of a collective effort: many hands, many perspectives, and a shared commitment to telling this story.
