Boxed In

'Boxed In' documents the lives of residents of one of the world's most densely crowded cities: Hong Kong. A city where government earns most of its money by making the land over-expensive. This forces the city to grow vertically, leaving people no other option but to live on top of each other. The expensive housing has forced people to create inhospitable living conditions. One Family apartments are secretly split up into four. Illegal cabins are build on the roofs. And the poorest people are forced to live in 'coffin homes'. Literal cages about the size of a coffin. Boxed In captures an endless, claustrophobic city, where space and air are nowhere to be found.
