FHJC ORIGINAL FILM BRINGS LIFE TO HOUSING DISCRIMINATION ISSUES

There is still time to register for the Wednesday premier screening event for the new film “≤” [Less Than or Equal To], a collection of provocative monologues about housing discrimination, inspired by real life stories. The film is produced by the Fair Housing Justice Center (FHJC).

By bringing to life the varied stories and voices of actual home seekers, investigators, real estate professionals and others, the film uncovers the subtle, hidden nature of contemporary housing discrimination and sheds new light on a pervasive issue that affects us all.
