Houses of Poverty Synopsis
Henri Storck’s militant short on Depression-era Belgium, set in Walloon slums on the outskirts of a prosperous city. Staged vignettes expose substandard housing, overcrowding, and numbed survival through claustrophobic, frame-filling images; a coda on slum clearance and “garden city” rehousing offers guarded hope.
Houses of Poverty (1936) is a documentary and drama film directed by Henri Storck, released on May 7, 1936 with a runtime of 29m. Viewers rate it 5.8 out of 10 across 4 ratings.
