My Friends Were Murdered Sleeping Rough on London's Streets | Minutes With

In this episode of Minutes With we sit down with filmmaker Lorna Tucker, who shares her experiences of being homeless on the streets of London when she was just 14 years old. Lorna tells us how she was groomed by older men who bought her trainers in exchange for helping them commit crimes and convinced her to run away with them to escape the police. She describes the friends she met while living on the streets, how addiction became a means of survival and how they endured violent attacks at night. After help from a mentor, Lorna began her career as a director and documentary maker and in her new film ‘Someone’s Daughter, Someone’s Son’ she champions the important message that together, we can end homelessness.
