Frederick Wiseman is widely acclaimed as one of the world's greatest documentary film makers and Public Housing one of his greatest works. In it the director turns his lens towards the community of Chicago’s Ida B. Wells housing estate. A portrayal of architecture in both its physical and social forms, the film observes the estate’s residents as characters in an urban set, in an unfolding conversation with their environment.
