Locked Out

2024 · 78 min

A sober, human-scale documentary that follows determined women through bureaucratic and financial obstacles, equal parts frustrating and quietly inspiring.

Tagline: BLACK. FEMALE. FIGHTING FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM.
Overview: Nothing symbolizes ‘making it in America’ quite like owning a home. Yet today, the racial gap in home ownership is widening, and those most impacted are women of color. Set in Detroit, “Locked out” takes us into the lives of courageous Black women who face evictions, predatory lenders and traditional banking, in a movement to battle housing injustice, so The American Dream may become a reality for all.
