Public Housing is Frederick Wiseman’s unflinching portrayal of life at the Ida B. Wells housing project in Chicago.
It is a raw exposition of the daily conflicts between residents and the bureaucratic machinery to which they are continually subjected. With intimate detail and an abiding dedication to his subject, Wiseman unearths the hidden facets of institutions to find humanity and sites of unexpected beauty.
