REAL STORIES OF STREET HOMELESSNESS
Sleeping Rough is a community-based participatory film about street homelessness in the UK. Using real interviews conducted with members of the homeless community all around the country, the film is a docudrama that follows three characters, looking at the circumstances that force each of them to sleep on the street. Sleeping Rough is an exercise in participatory storytelling, featuring actors with lived experience of homelessness, who collaborated in creating the film.
