A beautifully filmed documentary that conveys the bafflement of housing politics in San Francisco—and of living with its consequences: a group of old timers grope for arguments to legitimize their NIMBY conviction and convert it into a lawsuit; a homeless dad tries to navigate the city’s affordable-housing bureaucracy; and political organizers battle over dueling ballot measures that sound the same but have very different implications for the city’s future.

Fault Lines is about the Bay Area, but it carries a warning for every city in the country. If you want to understand the real forces driving the housing crisis, you need to watch this film.
— Gleam Davis, Former Mayor of Santa Monica
Fault Lines is the antidote to its toxic predecessors. It is the documentary I have been waiting for. It is the documentary that Americans need to see.
