Swansea: Living on the Streets
Swansea: Living on the Streets is a hard-hitting documentary series on the homelessness in Wales. The documentary touches upon personal and compelling stories of the homeless community in the run up to Christmas. The series offers an insight into the day to day life of individuals sleeping rough on Swansea's streets, as the community is hassled by Police presence struggling to build a life of their own.
Although the documentary may appear to be a downward spiral of depression, the homeless stories are compelling and relatable which allows the series to fluctuate between a variety of emotions. Episode 2 followed 3 different characters as they all work towards the end goal of getting off the streets. Their stories are diverse and their backgrounds deep, with one character Helena who is a university graduate and mother, who lost everything. It is these relatable characteristics that I am looking for to be documented, someone that has suffered misfortunes of life but still maintains stability.
