I Am Gentrification. Confessions of a Scoundrel

About This Movie

I Am Gentrification is a thought-provoking documentary that captures the complexities of urban life through Haemmerli's lens. The film has this raw, almost confessional tone, as he weaves his personal experiences with broader issues like density stress in Zurich and gentrification in cities like São Paulo and Tiflis. It’s not just about the statistics; there’s a palpable atmosphere of unease and reflection as he delves into architecture and housing. The pacing ebbs and flows, allowing you to digest the weighty themes of xenophobia and development. Haemmerli's approach is distinctive, blending the personal with the universal in a way that feels very real and immediate.

Great exploration of urban development themes.Captures personal and societal struggles.Offers a unique perspective on global cities.
