ABOUT THE FILM

LOGLINE

Owning a home—the cornerstone of generational wealth—is increasingly out of reach for people of color. In Detroit, a group of Black women fight against scammers, evictions, and traditional banks to help make The American Dream a reality for all.

LONG SYNOPSIS

Nothing symbolizes ‘making it in America’ quite like owning a home. Yet today, the racial gap in home ownership is widening, and those most impacted are women of color. Set in Detroit, LOCKED OUT takes us into the lives of courageous Black women who face evictions, predatory lenders, and traditional banking as they become ground fighters in a movement to battle modern-day redlining and housing injustice, so The American Dream may become a reality for all.
