Surviving Destitution Film
Currently working on a short documentary film on destitute asylum seekers in Glasgow. The film is being commissioned by Scottish Refugee Council, British Red Cross and The National Theatre of Scotland and will be used to launch a campaign on destitution later in the summer of 2012. It will follow the stories of several men and women living across Glasgow, some of who are homeless, some facing eviction, some have been destitute for a few months, whilst others have been destitute for several years. The film is in production and will be complete by August - the trailer above gives an idea of some of the stories that will be documented.
This trailer and other clips have been submitted for the Northern Lights Documentary Project - cast your public vote here >
