- Homelessness is a huge problem in London and over the whole of the UK. Not only is it a big problem but a growing one too.
This short documentary is based in London and focuses on three homeless people, exploring their experience of being on the streets.
Unlike many of us, homeless people don't have a platform to share how they feel. They don't have the support systems we do. This documentary aims to give voice to issues that might otherwise get lost in the wind and raise awareness about an ever growing problem.

The 67 year old is a great guy , about too maybe three years ago I bought some drawings off of him in Winchester. I hope all the homeless get all the help they need
He seems to be intelligent; a decent bloke.
I hope he is OK.
We need a update where are they now ?
I subscribed!😊
Only the lowest of the low would beat up a defenseless homeless man.
I could not agree with you more. Wise words indeed.
Lower than a snakes tits.
@@hetaera3418 Hardly "wise"...just common sense.
@@mjh5437 - yes, you're right; common decency, really. 'Wise' was just the word I used to express my agreement.
Who tf u goin practice kicks n shit on if not the homeless
To be honest, I hadn't thought of just stopping and chatting. I have given when I spare change but what I will remember now is to spend time too.
...thank you. as a homeless person myself I can say a little chat helps lift the mood.
It really makes a difference. I stop and chat to homeless people. During summer, I buy them drinks and in winter, I do Christmas boxes but I’ve even just given my lunch or whatever I have. Some homeless people feel invisible so having a little chat is so important.
Like Alan said homelessness can happen to anyone. I hope they're all safe.
Heartbreaking! Homelessness has to be adressed now. We are all two paydays away from the street.
A wonderful short film depicting the lives of three souls that ended up homeless. Nicely filmed and paced. Homeless makes me so angry. There is absolutely no need for it, but as long as we live in a society where we have to pay to live and other evils, this will not only continue but get worse. God bless, protect and guide all souls that end up on the streets. 🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🏿
I like the praying hands with different colours. I didn't know you could do that. Love it. Let's all pray for the homeless all the time. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏾
@@claudiabettina Yaaaay! Yep, pray everyday and whenever you pass a homeless person, say a prayer for them. If you can’t give money, food, etc. Give a prayer. Everybody can do this and it’s free! 🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏻
@@HeartBreakHigh In Jesus' mighty name, amen. 😁✝🛐🌼
To the guy who gave up the dog so the dog could be better off.You deserve a mansion with a refrigerator and freezer full of food and drink!And a nice warm bed!
This makes me so sad Lets do SOMETHING about it 😒
the royals should cough up to solve this
...that be the day
All of your are respected in my heart! People don't talk to people. That's pain!
so sad thisshould be countrys top prioritey to help homeless
Incredible documentary, deserves many more views. Thank you for your hard work making this.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Could be me.. I really feel for them bc man has gotten so egotistical in these end times. I'd gladly invite the elderly guy for a bath, a meal and to sleep for a few days. He doesnt have alcohol problems not drug problems, its not his fault hes homeless.Evict an old man..People have no shame.

Money
invite me :)
What time will i come over? What you cooking 🤪.
@@TheMasterblaster32 Whatevah u want, babe! My tub is your tub.
Great little docu. It made me sad & angry. 67 yr old on the streets or any age. Its a disgrace when so many properties stand empty. I expect this problem is only gonna get worse with job losses due to the dreaded virus....😪
Its his own fault. stop falling for the pity angle these lot thrive on. He is pensionable age. All he has to do is go to Crisis to get a registered address then he is on £100 per week.
There is a massive industry built around these people. A ton of people earn wages of these people.
There is no longer any excuse. There are exceptions, but generally if they are old, then it is mostly pointless. foucs on giving to the young ones who look like they have just been dropped into the world. Not these old-timers with their well-worn stories that delight documentary makers like this cause viewers can say how terrible it is and what sd b done.
It is misery porn. Most of them are there for good reasons.
Came here from invisible people and I am very impressed by his documentary. Gave me a new outlook on the homeless
thank you so much for the watch!
Me too
And at the same time people in the city having fun playing with millions pounds
💔
Yes, and it is obscene.
@@kathyinwonderlandl.a.8934 Its not. We are tribal and looked after our tribesfolk. No race thing. But beyond a certain your clan. You find people will harm you and yours.
So everyone becomes on the defensive. Its how we were created or evolved.
Its important to understand that simple fact. Humanity had evolved trading with different clans ie trust to a certain degree.
Then come parasites. Middlemen. Who play off ,stir shit and feed off of untrust.
That is where we are at.
Hail humanity for every race and kin. We will once again have that trust and love between brothers and sisters.
Need to tame the parasite. Or expel them. love.
And have love and peace and compassion in your hearts.
@@tw15t3dup7 that’s heaven to me.. I always think of the song Imagine by Lennon... that always makes me cry big tears .. it’s the way we should be..
Yeah those people with millions of pounds to play with are probably the same people that caused the financial crisis.
refreshingly respectful youtube content on homeless individuals. Not exploitative. And very well shot and edited. Thank you.
I was homeless for six years I'm lucky I got of the streets I know it's gonna get worse. I hope I don't end up that way again. I probably just go and live in the woods if I do.
May God bless you! 🙏🏻

.....instead of wasting £37 billion on track and trace system ( still can’t fathom out why it costs sooo much!!! )they could of used this money to better use and for the homeless!
It's the world we live in...fuled by hate anger and GREED!!!!!
Capitalism is evil.
it's 2021, And I can't believe 'homeless people' are still a thing.... what a species we are....
We cant house the whole world. Just go back to tyour own shi1tty country and put the effort my anchestors did into this country.
Great work Edward. When I watch videos of homeless people, I always wonder where their family & friends are and why they don't step up to help. Did you get any perspective on that during the interviews?
Yasir Kazi it can sometimes be that they simply don’t have anyone to turn to or don’t feel like they can turn to anyone, sometimes even being cutout by family and friends. We spoke to them briefly about family but I think this is definitely something that would’ve been interesting to explore in more depth
Heartbreaking stuff, well done on making the doc down to earth and heartfelt. I hope many people see this and hear the three stories of these men.
Thanks for the watch and kind words Oli. Hopefully it can help to spread the message.
yes this is where money is needed propertys for them

Blessed are the poor in spirit for theres is the kingdom of heaven
Well done documentary, thanks for sharing
Some of the best conversations I've ever had happened with homeless or disabled people. I am more and more convinced that "losers" are better people than "winners".
There are so many people who are on the streets for reasons they simply cannot control, life is so unfair to even the most kindest people. Children as your as 12 and 13 are left on the streets, and those who have been the streets for even more than a year, I hope that you find peace in your self, I hope that life becomes better, I hope you can eat, drink, have a roof to sleep under. I live in London and it's so sad to see so many people out on the streets. Knowing it couldve been any of us is scary.
Nothing will ever change under perpetual tory rule since 1979 and London is hell on earth.
the tax we pay should go to help these people. not traditions and royal
These are people too, there just people without a home, but no less as person as you or me or anybody else.
Bro you r really doing a good job showing this video to the busy world out there plz keep doing more bro great work
I dont understand how you can be homeless for 10 years in this day and age, so sad 😞
The homeless face verbal and physical abuse, rape, and murder. Listening to the men's stories is a reminder that so many of us in society have or will be let down. One man has been on the street for 10 years! Where is all the British economy actually all going to? Does the country protect ALL its vulnerable or is there a lot of picking who to help and who to leave? Send your video to your local MP.

Alan he is a good man amazing heart i hope they found good home shelter ameen
Life is not same for all, some get everything n most of all will get nothing..
Sadly that's how life works my friend... Keep fighting n hold your chin high..
Absolutely heartbreaking movie.
Amazing!! Its important to highlight this.
Prayers and good wishes for their well being 🙏
The 67 year old gentleman's story was heartbreaking as all their backgrounds were. I couldn't help, but notice that he had a bright orange Louis Vatton bag right next to him.😔
my heart :( no one deserves this
Great documentary highlighting a subject that is so serious and only getting worse, These folk who find themselves in such dire circumstances have enough misery to contend with without the constant fear of being attacked and assaulted by ignorant passers by. best wishes to all those homeless folk and thanks for a reminder that we can all do something even if it's just having time to chat and listen.
This is amazing work guys congrats on putting this together!
Thank you so much, massively appreciated
Thank you for SHARING.
I can't believe that with all the money there is in Britain and money generated, millionaires and billionaires and theres nothing that can be done for these homeless
The gap between the haves and have nots is getting bigger every year.i would be homeless myself only for my mother,I have a lot to thank her for..I had to give up a drug addiction i had for years,that was what she said to me and im so happy she gave me that ultimatum cos I'm clean from drugs and i can look after her too in her old age were previously i would steal from her for my habit..it's so hard bein homeless specially in the winter. This breaks my heazzrt listening to these guys,God bless and look after them....
I'm so glad that you were able to come out the other side of the addiction, from what I have heard and read it takes a tremendous amount of will power so well done. Thank you so much for the watch.
@@edwardbrowne351 thanks Edward iv jus seen your reply to me but thanks again
Well done for getting clean & looking out for you mum.
This might be the most depressing film I have ever seen and I am ashamed of our incivilisation. To think of how far our race has come in regards to knowledge, technology and prosperity but it has evolved so little when it comes to compassion and the wisdom. Capitalism has brought us all the wonders we enjoy today but has also brought us global warming and inequality, Government has failed to do their job of providing for the people, ALL of the people. NOT just the ones lining their pockets.
so true iam lost for words to say . keep safe ❤😢
This system have allowed most of us to be rich and for them to have at least anough food and time to live without dying immediately.
200 years ago most European would have love to have at least what they have
Global warming is lie meant to scare people into agreeing on regulations that make creating and owning a busines too expensinve for everyone but the super-wealthy; just like the way they want coronahysteria to destroy the economy in such a way that only the super-wealthy and big businesses have money to open new businessea and buy all the property when it's over.
Capitalism is the cause of the problem.
@@bencrawshaw1227 And Communism is a better solution?
Very good documentary, Alen said it can happen to anyone, So very true ! This is unexeptable in today's society period.
Thank you for the time taken to watch the documentary and very well said
Lovely documentary
Thank you, massively appreciated
God's blessings to all these homeless souls in the video and many thanks to the reporters for allowing them to share their personal stories. The documentary was so beautifully uncovered. Our. UK Govt needs, a more caring Leader. than the one we have now. 💔🙏
You fucking moron why is this not part of GODS plan imbecile. God is your delusional fantasy it has NOTHING to do with reality
Congrats to the Man who got out of this hell and good luck to the other two.
All have their own story. Whilst some may well find themsleves homeless due to 'bad decisions', ultimately, the harsh truth is that homelessness can and does affect absolutely ANYONE! When we moan and complain about our life, we should all take a moment to realize how very, very fortuante we are. If you have a roof over your head, have someone in your life who loves you, you eat daily and can pay the bills that we all must pay, your are really doing quite well in life. Anything else is a literally a bonus!
God’s word tells us not to turn a blind eye to the homeless or the needy
I would like to think that our inherent humanity would tell us much the same...
Showing these homeless as humans. As worthy. Thank you. Nobody deserves to be on the street.
Give it up. One of these men arent even English. You swines but others before your own.
Thank you for Sharing
thank you for this!
I really hope these guys have been helped since this film so sad it can happen to anyone everyone deserves a home to live in
When I was six years old my stepmother left me in a doorway with a note saying not wanted
❤️For a homeless person
Thank you all for supporting the oppressed people of Australia🙏🙏🙏📢
3 years ago I met Auris from Lithuania.. he was living in the woods. Now he owns a narrowboat and a car! Hard work but more importantly good. Friends. Hope all ends well here.
perhaps he can piss off back to his sh1thole country and make that better. No pride sd ever be given to a men that abandons his honmeland
Countless stories around the world of privileged, spoiled, evil young men beating up and/or robbing homeless people for no reason other than their own entertainment. Its absolutely disgusting but it reflects the (pathetic) values most of society passes on to their children.
In a world focused on profit, consumption and disposable everything its clear we have lost our way. Tough love has its place to harden our youth to the bittersweet challenges they will face in this world but it should be accompanied by teaching our young people compassion and kindness as well.
Very well said
The Royal Family have plenty of wealth why don't they help homelessnes is a real issue in England God bless these people peace. 🙏
Right
I did 6 yrs homeless and yes we are all a pay check away, its wrong, empty buildings!!! Give these beautiful people a home😪
I have been in the situations that are being portrayed,the support is there,go to foodbanks,speak to outreach workers and always keep in touch with the people that are recommended,it may take a little while (You Won't regret it)
Nobody in Parliament cares about these precious souls, you get a few good people helping out but majority won't give them even a look, I know now very soon i'll be one of these homeless people probably next month I'm trying my best not to fall into that but just all the greed of courts and landlords just ends up killing you. If there is anytime for social change in England it's now but don't worry about us continue to vote for the Tories or your 3 party system that all work for the same person coz the Brits love the illusion of a democratic society
What the old man said is so true, those fancy skyscraper remained empty all night, why can gov't bring some laws that would eventually help solve some problem face by homeless. If I own any of those big house I will happily let them spend the night.
You should get an award
they leave the best nice people on the street that put me down x
I attend a lot of training sessions in central London and the amount of people giving away free cereal bars they are trying to promote. The thing is they do not give them to the homeless as they cannot afford to buy one at a later stage, they hand out 4-5 bars to anyone who is working, *I collect as many as I can and then I give them all to the homeless.* !!! :D :D :D
I have never understood greed with money and food, we live in a society where this should not be happening but alas our governments have traded money for new affordable homes for new ways to kill each other.
*FACT:* if all the countries of the world spent just 10% of their military fund on curing cancer, we would have a cure by now and homelessness would be a thing of the past.
It's not the publics minds we should be targeting for change, its the governments....
The low life's that hurt these people will get their comeuppins. If I ever see that happening, run. Such honesty from them men. I respect them no matter what. I send my love 👊☘️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Meanwhile if you float around in a dinghy off the east coast of England.You get picked up housed in a nice hotel and 3 hot meals a dayall free of charge.
i have just been homeless in London for 2 and a half years and all in all nearly 5 years around the country that lead too addiction and i am now clean living within C.O.V.I.D accommodation for now looking for rehab.
generally most homeless will make enough money every day to find cheap rooms for the night there is alot of travelers rooms that are as little as £12.30 a night and have a strict code of photo I.D. ive had people pay and book me places whilst begging and there money wasted because i had lost all I.D
That sounds really tough Stuart. Is there anyway we can help?
@@edwardbrowne351 hey take my email address discostu2905@gmail.com the brick project could do with a driver for property renovation and I'm licensed to drive so starting a go fund me page to raise for a vehicle. Google the brick or Wigan life and ask for Chris or wendy.
These older guys left on the street its bloody disgusting 😤
Dirty cowardly sods who beat the older defenceless man bloody shame the hand he was dealt in life ,what an existence
people dont understand when you rent a flat or a house its not your home, so have back up just in case your landlord sells up i always have a back up for another rented home
I cared for my mum and when she died I went through hell but I had legal rights. After 6years they got planning permission to redevelop and were going to take me to court for possession.
Lucky for me I had a great solicitor who went to the council and I was nominated for a flat.
it's so sad..horrible..
I really hope these gentlemen are doing ok now? As I've said if this year has taught me anything, no-one knows what's around the corner, & none of us are immune to these circumstances.
My ex was a heroin addict and my best friend was too. I almost did it one night, to see what the hype was about. But I ended up not. Drugs are the worst. They take away everything. I have a soft spot for addicts. They are slaves to their addiction. I wish I could help them all. They’re beautiful people deep down.
A 67 year old man on the streets. His landlord Boris Johnson and the government should all be in jail.
i mean, the second guy came to the country and didn't get a job and turned to heroin and 'decided' to live on the streets. he really gives eastern europeans a bad name. I've worked alongside my eastern europeans in london and they are the hardest working people I've ever met.. they come here with the sole goal to work hard and save money not give up straight way and start begging. I mean I appreciate he admits his situation is of his own making which is honest and refreshing.
People are so dumb do blame homeless on illegals and immigrants.... the people who should be accountable for homelessness is the government and the billionaires, these are the people with power and these are the people who can truly do something to help worldwide poverty including social issues inside the U.K.
This is just heartbreaking 💔💔😢😢
This pond life who attack the Homeless should pick on me.
@British Defender i do a mean fishhook, yep i can play dirty too.
@British Defender yeah man, slowly
Hardnut
There should be homeless shelters
Thanq for the video
I wish this government would help the homeless as well as asylum seekers.
It’s sad that people will take a dog and give it a home but not a human being
320,000??? That a whole community here. A city in specific. 😔
If I could I would like to buy an apartment for all three of them. I know what it is like. Especially when you never hurt anyone.
i'm 62 and not homeless well yet anyways , i get welfare which isn't a lot of money can pay rent for a small studio apartment get some food some smokes and pay my Internet and phone bill , but i also go Foraging around almost daily 6 miles round abouts thats Dumpster Diving for cig butts cans and plastic bottles to redeem at the grocery store can sometimes buy smokes , but mainly live day to day till the beginning of the next month then it starts all over again day by day , the money lasts me about a week and its gone
Lovely, touching film Edward. I'd like to get in touch with you and discuss a project related to your content. It is not a film
Thank you for the watch and kind comment. You can reach me at ed.h.browne@gmail.com
So sad , I hope these men have been helped by now, 😢
So sad god bless them
People treat the homeless people like crap because deep down they feel guilty that their life is better. To blame the homeless for their condition is a way of justifying The better life they have. By Vilifying the homeless they feel deserving of their position. But deep down they know it could happen to them
To be without a home would be a nightmare for me.
There should be a one off 10% covid..tax on the rich.anyone who has 5 million pounds or more.billions will be raised for the home less.

Hi Edward, hope you are well. I was just wondering why you stopped making these types of videos? The quality is really good and inciteful. I am wanting to start my own series about the struggles many are facing in Britain at the moment and highlight the stark differences between what politicians are saying and real life. If you are interested it would be good to speak with someone like yourself who understands about this a little.
There is a housing crisis in this country. Houses should be built to house people not to make profits for developers .
When you walk past a homeless person never ever be so ignorant to think that couldn’t be you one day. If u have a big family, lots of money or even both it could all be taken away with just one really bad life choice.
god bless There hearts
