This documentary follows a group of marginalised people in Manchester, England who have experienced homelessness and addiction. The one thing that has kept them going is a drama group where they have spent years coming together and creating films as a community. The film follows them as they receive bad news, and a question is explored - should the arts be a human right? This documentary not only celebrates the resilience of the clients but also serves as a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity.
