SI SE PUEDE. SEVEN DAYS AT PAH BARCELONA

Pau Faus | Spain | 2014 | 52'

Do you want to know about the main anti-eviction citizen’s movement in Spain? Comando Video invites you to view the documentary ‘SÍ SE PUEDE. Seven days at PAH Barcelona’ (2014), a daily account of Barcelona‘s Platform for People Affected by Mortgages that portrays what a common week, and its tireless activities, could look like. Seven interviews -combined with images collected over one year- lead the viewer through the different activities performed weekly at PAH Barcelona. This documentary placed cameras at the heart of the organization to depict not only the post-housing bubble drama but most importantly the huge invisible work behind the PAH and the deep process of transformation and empowerment of those who participate in it.
