In New York City's most quickly gentrifying neighborhoods, a group of fearless residents, activists, and nonprofit attorneys fight corrupt landlords and developers for the basic human right to a home.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

Because “Slumlord Millionaire” has assembled a dynamic and engaging group of activists, it seems churlish to complain that it hasn’t found a way to make the material cinematic.

Film Threat

Slumlord Millionaire also illustrates that the fight isn’t over, and all the people who make less than $600,000 a year will not go quietly into the night.

Rated: 8.5/10

Christopher Campbell

Nonfics (Substack)

While structurally it’s a very conventional film, Slumlord Millionaire does a good job of covering a diverse mix of situations to show the various ways to combat corruption on all levels of the current real estate industry as well as gentrification.
