Housing is a Human Right: Zakiyah Maynard is a gut-wrenching documentary that delves into the intricacies of home and belonging through the eyes of Zakiyah. Growing up in 36 foster homes gives her a unique perspective on what home truly means—or doesn’t mean. The pacing of the film feels deliberate, almost like a slow burn, as she navigates through perplexing bureaucratic hurdles. You feel her determination and frustration in every scene. The atmosphere is heavy but also laced with hope as she fights for stability for her daughter. The raw, unfiltered performances really ground the narrative, making each moment resonate. It’s a compelling exploration of systemic failure and the human spirit’s resilience.
