When was the last time you walked past a homeless person on the street, felt guilty, and then carried on with your day? Most of us want to help, but often don’t know where to start. Here’s a chance to make a real difference.
Someone’s Daughter, Someone’s Son is a powerful documentary by award-winning filmmaker Lorna Tucker, who brings her unique perspective as someone who has lived on the streets of London. This film explores the causes of rough sleeping and offers a vision for how we can end homelessness in the UK once and for all.
Through interviews with key experts, including Pam Orchard, CEO of The Connection at St Martin’s, and John Bird, co-founder of The Big Issue, the film reveals that homelessness is not simply about addiction or mental illness, but a consequence of systemic social issues that need urgent attention. It’s a reminder that addressing the root causes such as lack of affordable housing and inadequate social support could end homelessness if we have the political will to make it happen.
In the final part of the film, Tucker speaks directly to the camera to issue a passionate call for political and societal action. This is not just a documentary about homelessness it’s a rallying cry for a future where homelessness is eliminated.
