As Rents Skyrocketed, They Fought Back: Award-Winning Doc ‘Slumlord Millionaire’ Acquired By PBS Series ‘VOCES’
The New York City rent crisis documentary 'Slumlord Millionaire,' directed by Steph Ching and Ellen Martinez, has been acquired by PBS 'VOCES' series.
“As these neighborhoods undergo transformation, the film highlights the struggle of a group of fearless residents, activists, and nonprofit attorneys across the city waging the fight for the fundamental right to retain their homes against corrupt landlords and developers who prioritize profits above all.” Sandie Viquez Pedlow, executive producer of VOCES, said, “ Slumlord Millionaire puts a human face on a very complex issue, introducing viewers to people on the front lines of the campaign for fair and affordable housing. The documentary follows multiple participants: “The Bravo family who have been in a legal battle with their landlord for 15 years; Janina Davis, a former supermodel who is trying to reclaim her home after a deed theft scam; Ren Ping Chen, a resident of Manhattan Chinatown who fears his historic community may disappear after the construction of four luxury towers; and Moumita Ahmed whose city council campaign was viciously targeted by real estate developer billionaires.”
