A new documentary tells the stories of the fastest growing demographic of homelessness in Australia.
Australians are well aware of the affordable housing crisis their nation is facing, an experience exacerbated by the ongoing impact of the pandemic and current economic climate, but what may come as a shock is the demographic most at risk of homelessness.
A new documentary aims to shed light on this alarming issue and make visible the stories of ageing women facing housing stress. Filmed over two and a half years, “Under Cover” features ten Australian women over 50 years old, who through no fault of their own, cannot pay their rent or mortgage.
Narrated by Margot Robbie, the documentary lays bare the intersection of sexism, ageism and poverty.
