Evicted: the Hidden Homeless

If you're near a TV Wednesday night try to have a look at 'Evicted' on BBC1 at 10.35pm. It's the homelessness documentary - 40 years on from Ken Loach's seminal 1966 drama, 'Cathy Come Home', it seems little has changed in the real world.

Charlotte (13), Sarah (15) and Chloe (8) are homeless. No Home is devastating indictment of the failure of the government to adequately address the problem of homelessness in 21st century Britain. Through moving personal stories, this film exposes the shocking truth behind their search for a home as they struggle to survive on the edge of society.
