Homeless: The Story of Gary Nobbs

How does a person become homeless? What is it like to be homeless? Gary is forty and has been homeless for over twenty years, drifting from one temporary accommodation to another. Through his story we explore the connection between drug and alcohol abuse and homelessness and how he was eventually helped to break the cycle. Gary's story is contextualised via statistics and documentary video footage. By focusing on one case study the viewer gains a general understanding of the special needs of homeless people and how those needs may be met.
