SHARED?

Shared? is a thought-provoking, moving and at times surprisingly funny exploration of contemporary housing issues and the human lives behind the social housing statistics and stereotypes.

Shared? follows a colourful cast of characters living in, and nearby to a shared housing association development where a rumour has been circulating and the local Neighbourhood App has taken a very odd turn. Meet these neighbours from different countries, classes and cultures as their worlds begin to combine and collide.

One of them is Emma; a single working mother, she has ‘earned’ enough ‘points’ to move into a new flat in a shared neighbourhood on the leafy side of town. But what’s the point in a point system when the teenage party girl downstairs, the one with the social worker, doesn’t seem to care that some people have to work long hours?  All Emma really wants is to spend time with her 14 -year- old daughter who has developed some issues of her own.

Watch the scenes as a host of community members cross wires and cross paths in a bid to belong.
