Community Film Screening and talk. With Neil Gray and Chris Murray. Organised by Living Rent
Neil Gray is a writer, researcher, Living Rent member and lapsed filmmaker. He is the editor of 'Rent and its Discontents' (2018) and author of 'Take Over the City' (2026). In 'Smoke and Mirrors' ( 2006, 45 mins) he documented - with tenant involvement - the successful campaign to save 23,000 Edinburgh council houses from privatisation.
After the film Neil will be joined in an informal chat with housing activist and researcher, Chris Murray, who has been researching the stock transfer process in Scotland.
What can we learn from the stock transfer campaigns today?
Why should we organise in the public housing sector?
