Dwelling

Finding and fighting for feelings of home. As the housing crisis deepens, home is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Join host Marnie Woodmeade as we speak to the people seeking alternatives. From abandoned buildings to lost rivers, they redefine what a home can be. But as restrictions on alternative lifestyles tighten, how can they protect their sanctuaries, sites of resistance and dwelling?
