Over the course of a few weeks filmmaker and extreme adventurer, Paul Suggitt made himself homeless to film a documentary of what life is like living on the streets and the impact it can have on a person.
From turf wars, violence between the homeless, violence towards the homeless, true stories from homeless people on how they manage to live day-to-day, and the reaction to the homeless from the public, living on the streets is very tough.
Homeless charities are reporting record numbers of people needing help with food, clothing and accommodation, so what is it really like to live on the streets?
All homeless people featured in the documentary were provided with support outside of filming to help them find accommodation and they were provided with a dedicated outreach person to liaise with the authorities on their behalf.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, so I know your mom and my dad are in a different realm and I know they're proud of us too bc they raised survivors, at all costs. I hope you soar! You deserve a happy life and all the good things life has to offer; so for as bad as it gets, is how beautiful it can be. Never give up friend. Never. 💕

I was homeless on the streets of Newcastle and London for 6 years .. fortunately I got out of it and got my life together. I live in Copenhagen now and as a 50 year old man I still think about those days cold and lonely without any direction living in a positive feedback loop . Great video and a shocking reminder that we're all only a few pay checks away from this reality .

Hi Paul I'm so glad you done this documentary. The Sikhs of Middlesbrough we feed the homeless and vulnerable on a Sunday at 5pm in the town, and would love for you to join us one Sunday and get some if their experiences. It's a sad world when humanity is being let down. Takes nothing to be kind to someone, especially the needy homeless and vulnerable. If you csnt help them don't abuse them either. As one day it could be anyone of us and we all would like to think that there is still good people put there to help. Feel free to get in contact. Kind regards Roop Singh 🤝🏽🙏🏾

@Paul Shields You needn't be much more than courteous to the homeless to find out that's all most of them need. A simple good morning- how do you do- is there anything you need. To be cut off from something as simple as communication between another human being is very hard & Shocking to the body & mind. Most of us don't even see the homeless Paul- we turn that blind eye ya see? The largest & most upsetting thing I've noticed Paul: People's house pets are treated better, fed better & receive proper Healthcare more than the homeless. Our own Species for God's sake!!!! We treat our own Species worse than a damned dog or a cat. Absolutely Ridiculous & in the end, most humans will be judged harshly by their Creator for not trying- for not saying that "hello, how are you"..see what I mean?? So thank you Paul Shields. You definitely help more than probably understand. So keep it up. Like the homeless Always remind me: "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You!" We never know, someday it could be you or I out there on those freezing streets.

I think it was Mick who mentioned that the refugees were put up in hotels and the homeless were forgotten about. In my home town that happens a lot. Hotels that for years had been used to shelter the homeless over the bitter winter months were no longer able to offer the service as they had been inundated with refugees. Which is all well and good but every human being on this earth deserves to have a roof over their head and warm food in their bellies and that includes the homeless.

I've been there and it's pure bollocks times 10. I still dream about being on the streets and wake up in shock,even although it was a long long time back. Loneliness is the killer even although you meet and speak with people day and daily. "Get me to fuck out of this hell" is on your brain 24/7.This is the major cause of Depression and mental illness and the government turn the other cheek. It was ordinary things in life that meant the most, like a cup of tea,like reading the paper,like watching the news,getting a haircut..

Their charity shop I worked in, next door would give freely, sleeping bags, clothes & shoes to anyone that was homeless, including a food donation. Money, food and clothing, donated by the local people, it was a hands on approach...Now ?? all gone, no explanation, infact it was like they knew that covid was coming and shut up shop, very sad

I will go out of my way to help anyone, be they rich or poor. I feel humbled by the way my life has turned out. Two beautiful grown up children. Although single now, after a 27 year Marrage.

I found myself homeless when I left my partner in the middle of winter. I was lucky as I had a vehicle to sleep in. But for that engine running with the heater on I swear I would have died of hypothermia. Simple things like having a piss, crap, or wash become major issues. Things are better now but whenever I see someone sleeping in a doorway now, I am the first person to go up and say some friendly words and drop them a few quid. Great documentary dude, you actually really lived it....peace to ya.

While I see and also acknowledge the value in Paul’s documentary, I was beyond shocked at the comment section. The woman called Jamie is out there daily assisting the homeless in her community. Whether offering a kind word to someone living a life most of us couldn’t imagine, or finding someone housing so they don’t have to live on the street~she is a true hero and I am shocked that there is virtually no acknowledgement for what she does. Paul seems like a cool guy who had beautiful intentions with his film, but he also moved on to his next project after this wrapped up. Bet you Jamie is still out there, rain or shine, helping her fellow man. Thank you Jamie! Also thank you Paul, as the video was, of course, a great way to shed light on a topic that many people just don’t want to address or look at too closely.

I was really touched and full of admiration by your story, you are a brave and determined human being who got himself off the streets, you are a success. You have different problems now and may you have the courage to face those with the same strength of will and faith.

@Susan L McNeal I agree wholeheartedly. Last September I found myself living in my car, then that got taken away...Being homeless can ABSOLUTELY change one's life entirely. Our own Species, for God's sake, deserves at the very least, a "Hi there, how are you today?" Wouldn't you agree?

These people have hearts of gold with so much potential among them, the scum who insult and harm the homeless are usually bottom of the barrel types who are probably scared by the thought that they could end up like that themselves. Jamie's work and knowledge is next level stuff, what a woman ❤

Props to Paul for putting himself through this. Even with security, it must have been tough. Especially knowing he could duck out at any time & go back to a comfortable home. I’m sure there’s many a time he wondered why on earth he was doing this & the fact he stuck it out for so long is impressive.

I do wonder why so many people are stuck on the street waiting for fully kitted out accommodation, when so many just want somewhere warm & dry with a bathroom. Why don’t we start thinking in terms of transitional care, where people can be provided with a lockable room with access to a bathroom that they can go to any time they want (instead of just shelters that have to kick them out in the morning). Going from homeless into a fully kitted out flat with responsibilities & commitments is a big transition. Having something that’s a step up from a doorway or squat would surely get them a step closer to being ready for permanent accommodation & gets them into a safer, healthier environment in the meantime. It won’t fix all their problems, but it would be a start.

This has been a eye opener for me! For us who take life for granted should be ashamed. I pray that life gets better for these precious souls everyone deserves a hot meal and a roof over our head. I thought that I was going through hard times with the economy and trying to raise my grandchildren on a fixed budget here in the USA, but after watching this I have no reason to complain. I will be checking to see what i can do to help. Thanks to the crew who put this video out and bringing awareness and those who try and help these wondering souls. God bless each and everyone of you!

Really enjoyed this Paul a big eye opener I’m from Middlesbrough and I work all over the Cleveland area boarding up houses for the police. The amount of houses that are empty is astonishing, and I tell u what it is most of them are owned by people from the south and buy them when they don’t know the area and how bad some places are and don’t get the property’s managed for them and leave them to rot

Even the empty shops are owned by the rich elite and not the councils they havnt even stepped foot in teesside or know of it It's crazy. They won't let the shops go for cheap rent or anything that's why one reason these town centres are dying these days.

These documentaries of homeless people made me really emotional and upset, there was a time in my life when i was young below 10 in india me entire family was very poor we had problems and were struggling to eat and alot problems we were really poor we servived cleaning peoples houses and also working in shops to get some food. I went out to give some homless people food and now i feel like i will try to fhis once a week and try give back to my community.

Subscribed, you've highlighted the reality of what the homeless are going through, kudos to you. Everyone has a history and reasons for the way things are, often outwith their control through circumstances. People need to have empathy, and some understanding its not a choice nor an easy way to exist. Any of us could end up homeless, anyone!!!! Respect to all who try to help the homeless ❤
