Eerst het Eten, Dan de Huur plot

In the 1930s, a veritable wave of rent strikes erupted. Crisis, unemployment, and high rents led tenants in the 1930s and the 1980s to resort to this powerful weapon: withholding part of the rent. The historical documentary 'First the Food, Then the Rent' explores this fierce rent struggle: the how and why, the motivation of the strikers, their joy, and their sorrow.
