A Story of Resistance, Hope and Human Dignity
No Country for the Poor is more than just a documentary ? it's a call to conscience. Set in the heart of Hungary, this film follows the lives of homeless and working-class activists who have chosen to stand up in a society increasingly shaped by exclusion, inequality and indifference.
At the center of this movement is A Város Mindenkié (The City is for All), a grassroots organization founded and led by people directly affected by homelessness. Their mission: to fight for the right to housing, to challenge unjust laws, and to reclaim their place in a democratic society that too often ignores its most vulnerable members.
Over the course of two years, the film documents both public protests and private struggles, courtroom battles and community meetings, late-night organizing and early-morning evictions. But at its core, this is a story about people who refuse to give up ? not on themselves, not on each other, and not on the ideals of justice and solidarity.
Through the voices of those who live on the margins, No Country for the Poor invites viewers to rethink what democracy means when basic rights are no longer guaranteed, and when survival becomes a daily act of resistance. It reminds us that real change often begins with those who have the least ? and yet, demand the most fundamental rights for all.
