Tribulete 7: The Building on the Frontline of Madrid's Housing Crisis

Let me tell you a story about Lavapiés. Spain's housing crisis has finally come for you. Your home has just been sold to a vulture fund and they want you out. What would you do? The residents at Calle Tribulete 7 came together and set out on a path of resistance, one that would transform them into a Madrid-wide symbol of the battle for housing rights. The documentary Soy Tribulete 7 (I am Tribulete 7) takes us inside the 107-year-old Lavapiés building and into the lives of an extraordinary community whose looming eviction launched the fight of their lives.This week on Sobremesa podcast, we discuss the new documentary and the housing block behind. To do so, I am joined by the film’s co-director Leah Pattem. Leah is a photo and investigative journsalist and the founder of the blog Madrid No Frills.
