Homelessness

Synopsis

We see the rise of a successful mixed race couple living in London with everything going for them. Just like so many of us life is pure bliss and for them and with a young family they have everything and more to live for. But with one huge changing event which can happen to any one of us we witness there hopes, dreams and desires crushed and the world they once knew comes crashing down. With no way to escape the waves of torment that we see come thrashing down on them and the poverty trap they fall into a world dependant on the state, before long the dreams they once had become a nightmare just to stay together and survive. Inspired by 'Cathy Come Home' a film by Ken Loach

Lightning Falls Lightning Falls

Director: Johnny Lynch

Year: 2011

When Lucas Lawson steps into the boxing ring to obliterate his opponents with his lightning speed, he is a two time world champion, but that was the 1990's. Since retiring from the ring in 1997 the once mythologised fighter descends into a world plagued by drug abuse and alcoholism. Now it's 2010 and he is bankrupt and forgotten, fighting for money in the seedy underworld of unlicensed fighting and suffering flashbacks to his glory days brought on by brain damage. Battling against his own inner demons and plagued by psychotic episodes, the rage that once made him a champion in the ring is about to prove his downfall.
