  • After moving to London in search for a new life, Andrew unexpectedly became homeless for a few nights. Even though this lasted for a short period of time, living on the streets left a big mark on him and it completely shifted his perspective on homelessness. Take a look into Andrew's life, his reflections about homelessness in the UK and his attempts on making people feel they're worth saving.

    You can also help through volunteering or donating other materials such us clothes.
    I spent a few hours in the space and it was a joy to speak with some of them, as you can see in the end of the video. If you were ever considering volunteering to such cause, I truly recommend.

    The quality you put out is unbelievable. I hope more people will see your documentaries, they are so worthwhile. I sometimes buy some food for a homeless man who often sits next to a supermarket near me, I've never actually asked him what he wants though. I will next time!

      Thank you so much! Hopefully more and more people will watch these stories in the future.
      And that's great! My documentaries are never made to preach or to tell someone on how to do things, but instead I want to inspire people and make you reflect, learn and grow with these stories. Thank you

    I have stumbled over your channel and what a surprise hidden gem this is. I have binged watched most of your documentaries, and they are of high quality. What I loved most about them is they are especially story/subject centred, which made them very engaging. I came across your channel as I am aspiring to undertake documentary videos of my own. I would love the opportunity to work with you on a project in the near future if you're interested.
