Filmed and Directed by Iņigo Garrido
Conceived & Produced by James Brown
Robert Bratton, a homeless person from Glasgow, takes a journey
to challenge public misconceptions about the nature of both homelessness
and people who are homeless.
He interviews politicians and experts to find out the "official
view", but also adventures into the other side of the street to
hear from those who know best about life in the street - the homeless
themselves.
The homeless people appearing in the film were directly responsible
for its content and direction, and were available to answer questions
to the audience at a series of screenings in the UGC and GFT in
Glasgow.
The film is in memory of Maggie McComb, a homeless woman of 32 years
of age, who features in the film. She died of an overdose of heroin
on 17th September 2004 - the day before the film premiere at Document
2 Film Festival.
