Alex Fegan is one of the great documentarians of our time. His chief skill is his on-screen invisibility. He doesn't need to point the viewer in certain directions, he just lets people tell their stories.
This new documentary explores a year in the life on the streets of Ireland's capital, making visible the lives and stories that thousands of feet walk past every day.
Fegan focuses on a diverse group of individuals who all live on or off the streets of Dublin, as they reflect on what life is really like for them.
They’re a diverse group of individuals who also give accounts of their backgrounds, with family problems and abuse often being recurring reasons as to why some people's lives became very difficult.
