A Place to Live.
During the 70s and 80s I saw a lot of negative coverage of squatters and of cource squatting is now 'illegal'. A, good deal of the negativity was created by government policy, local authority and police behaviour. Here is a Spitalfields Life account:-

David Hoffman ‘the riot photographer’s riot photographer’

Victoria Park, East London, now a calm, somewhat gentrified, tranquil spot for a conversation with David Hoffman, a photojournalist who has made a career documenting what David refers to as ‘the increasingly overt control of the state over our lives’.

The Information Society is a #documentary that ran on PBS (in the USA) decades ago (1980? or 1979). There are parts of it still relevant today and the others where predicted and came to be. It runs just under an hour. Thanks to the filmmaker for republishing it!
