5 Years of Squatting and Self-Management

About This Movie

So, this documentary, '5 Years of Squatting and Self-Management,' dives into the gritty life of a group of young idealists in Seville. They take over an abandoned warehouse in the Pumarejo neighborhood, transforming it into the CSOA Casas Viejas over the course of five years. It's raw and real – you get to see the struggle, the community spirit, and the relentless energy of these individuals who are trying to carve out a space for social movements. The pacing is rather deliberate, letting the viewer soak in the atmosphere of defiance and creativity. It's not just about squatting; it's about creating a sense of belonging and purpose amidst social challenges. The practical effects here are the lives being lived, the projects being built, and the community that grows through it all. A certain authenticity shines through, which is hard to find in more polished docs.
