Lewisham Peoples Assembly, the organisers behind the Save Lewisham Shopping Centre Campaign are pleased to announce our first film screening fundraising event.
Working in collaboration with Cape Town based housing activist group Mother City Collective, we are pleased to screen their 2024 film Mother City which documents the struggles of Cape Towns housing activist group led by Nkosikhona Swartbooi. Tackling themes of collective resistance, gentrification and housing justice in the context of a Cape Town still showing the signs of apartheid era inequality, this film screening is essential to inspire ourselves facing housing injustice in London and demonstrate our shared global housing struggles in the face of private property developers.
