Fighting For Home looks beneath the surface to uncover a systemic legacy of exclusionary zoning, redlining, housing discrimination and how it took root, perpetuating a cycle of segregation and inequality that has persisted for decades. Throughout the ?lm, we come to see how systemic racism and discrimination have shaped our neighborhoods and communities, perpetuated inequality and created barriers to opportunity. By tracing prejudice back to the 1920s when state law was enacted to empower local governments to create exclusionary zoning laws, we see how Black and Brown residents have effectively been excluded from certain neighborhoods, towns and cities. Through a series of interviews with residents, legal experts, historians, and activists, we expose the insidious ways in which these policies were used to maintain racial and economic segregation from the practice of systematically denying loans, to the use of restrictive covenants, to the arbitrary rules set by towns and cities to prevent affordable housing. Through expository documentary techniques, interviews, illustrative visuals, historical footage, photos and observational footage, our film follows several people from across the state who each have their own powerful stories about a housing system that has failed them.
