When even the most affordable housing in our American Dream is being devoured by the wealthiest of the wealthy, whose dream are we serving? This rousing documentary addresses urgent issues of class and economic (im)mobility through the lives of mobile home park residents who are fighting for their basic right to fair housing. They are fighting for their dreams—and their lives—as private equity firms and wealthy investors buy up parks, making sky-high returns on their investments while squeezing every last penny out of the mobile home owners who must pay rent for the land they live on. Profiling several communities throughout the country, the documentary shines a light on the Golfview Mobile Home Park in North Liberty, Iowa.
