'Mortgaged Lives' examines the experience of rupture, through the loss of a home, within the Spanish eviction crisis. In July 2013 in Madrid, a small group of women travel on a metro towards a home on the other side of the city where they try to prevent the eviction of a young family. They are activists in the PAH, a right to housing movement in Spain, as well as being personally affected by the current eviction crisis happening throughout the country. The film maps out the trauma of homelessness, social estrangement, and the fight against injustice by those who are suffering the consequences of the economic crisis within the global economy. Reflecting on their personal lives, the women on the metro connect their individual experiences of eviction to those of others, which happen daily throughout the city. A parallel analysis of these experiences unfolds within a series of group discussions. They are led by a team of psychologists who are studying the psychosocial impacts of eviction. 'Mortgaged Lives' brings these stories to the foreground to gain a larger understanding of the economic crisis and its impact on individual lives.
