SOMEONE’S DAUGHTER, SOMEONE’S SON (15)
Dir: Lorna Tucker | UK | 2023 | 87 mins |Documentary
This title is presented in partnership with the Eastbourne Film Society. The screening on Saturday 16 March will be introduced by Mansel Stimpson, Chair of EFS.
Now a successful filmmaker, Lorna Tucker (Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist; Amà) was once a teenage runaway sleeping rough on the streets of London. In this frank, forceful and illuminating documentary, she returns to her former haunts and speaks to current and former homeless people about why, 25 years later, record numbers of people are still reduced to living on Britain’s streets.
Embarking on a moving journey through the streets of her past, Someone’s Daughter, Someone’s Son shines a vital and deeply personal spotlight on the experience of homelessness. As we hear the life stories of extraordinary individuals and learn how the system has both aided and failed them, this raw and unforgettable film asks: Why hasn’t public policy placed this issue in the past? How can we help? And what contribution can those with experience of homelessness make to putting effective solutions in place?
