Now a successful filmmaker, Lorna Tucker (Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist; Amà) was once a teenage runaway sleeping rough on the streets of London. In her frank, forceful and inspiring documentary "Someone’s Daughter, Someone’s Son", 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.

 

Through film excerpts and a Q&A, this session will explore:

 

- Why hasn’t public policy placed this issue firmly in the past?

- How can we help?

- What contribution can those with experience of homelessness make to putting effective solutions in place?
