100 Doors, 2004
What starts as a distinctive video diary – with the director tracing many of the 'hundred doors' she slept behind as one of the 'hidden homeless' after leaving her dysfunctional family aged 12 - builds steadily into a cogent, wide-ranging essay on the need for roots and the battle against loneliness, as well as being a humorous, spirited defence of youthful independence. Talking to many of those who helped and sheltered her over the years, she reflects on lessons learnt, changes made and, behind a likeable enquiry into the person she once was, offers a discreet rebuke to a social order that often ignores the most vulnerable.
