The 22-minute piece focuses the problem the country is facing at present and has so far been well received both at home and abroad with The Journal and Australian-based website Irish Around Oz amongst those who have picked up on the video.
The documentary is set in Navan, where local election candidate Alan Lawes spoke to four women who are either facing eviction or who are already living homeless.
They share their experiences dealing with the banks and the local authorities and their frustrations with the systems for homeless and housing lists and the social welfare system.
Their stories are just a few examples of how the economic crash impacted on the living situations on people all across the country. Marcus interviewed the women in the video and also directed and edited the documentary, which was recorded earlier this month on February 8th.
You can view the video above.
