ON THE STREETS - BBC4
Documentary on homeless around Waterloo and Southbank area.
Acclaimed director Penny Woolcock's first documentary in 10 years saw her spending eight months with homeless people in London. Here she describes the filming process and what she learned about the true nature of homelessness in the capital.
A MUST SEE.
Full documentary here.
Now that's what I needed. Journalist explores their way of living, why they happened to be on the streets and what's the story behind it. Although it's not exactly about Waterloo Bullring, but in the way shows their living style, where they get food from etc.
Here is a few quotes I wrote down while watching a film:
- Caffees, shops, waitressing, fucking everything- where is my home, where is my home???
- I don't care about my money, all I care is my home.
- Where do you sleep? "I tend to sleep on the night busses".
- They all got their own individual reasons to live on the streets.
- Deep in this corner, deep time of the night, there is a little fella that blinks his eyes half open.
- I don't wanna give up, throw myself out on the ground, want to give a little self respect.
- London is a selfish place.
- Hardest thing is taking rejection.
- Having a roof back makes you feel realise that you actually haven't got anything.
