Clip description

Pete, a resident of Northcott public housing estate, recalls returning home to find a woman’s body surrounded by coins on the pavement. He believed that she had robbed dispensing machines and was either pushed or committed suicide from a high floor.

Curator’s notes

Pete’s testament is a stark depiction of life in public housing.
