Synopsis
In the early 1970s, tenants across Ireland faced rising rents and deteriorating housing conditions. From 1970 to 1973, over 100,000 individuals participated in a rent strike organized by the National Association of Tenants Organisations (NATO). The campaign lasted three years and concluded successfully in August 1973, leading to significant changes in Irish housing policy. Through interviews with participants and their families, the documentary recounts this largely overlooked chapter of Irish working class history.
