The American Housing Crisis DVD: The American Housing Crisis DVD |
| Product Description : Soldiers returning home from World War II were ecstatic. Visions of happy reunions with families after years of war had blotted the gory scenes of death and destruction from their minds. Dreams of happy days ahead with friends and family filled their nights. The euphoria, sadly, was short lived. No sooner had they finished embracing wives and loved ones than the reality of the situation hit them - they had returned home only to find that they did not have one! The superbly directed films on this DVD capture the gloom that surrounded the victorious heroes on their return to the United States due to the acute shortage of houses. The scenes of five to six families crammed into a single apartment evidence the grievousness of the situation. Vivid reenactments of couples on a house hunt mixed cleverly with live clips of jubilant soldiers returning home capture the bitter disappointment and utter helplessness of families in the middle of this post-war crisis. While portraying the quick response of the government agencies in an imaginative manner, the films also highlight the quick-fix solutions offered by various agencies. Statistics and graphics used to illustrate action plans provide an insight into the efforts of government agencies in seeking practical solutions to the housing dilemma. |
