No Home

No Home

Forty Years on from the groundbreaking film 'Cathy Come Home', Video Nation has produced a series of video diaries portraying homelessness today.

These films are powerful personal portraits from people of all ages, types and backgrounds who have recently experienced life with no home.

We turned these testimonies in to a half hour documentary called Moving On, which won Best Documentary 2007 at the Royal Television Society Midland Centre Awards.
