  • Had a great time making this short documentary. It was a pleasure to work with both James and Alicia, I hope I was able to capture their story it needed to be told.

    I saw this chap on the documentary "The joy" as well, he seemed like a nice ol skin. Very sad to hear of his passing, RIP James. Disheartening to see folk like this through no fault of their own and with so much potential to fall through the cracks. That wonderful lady Alicia is very caring, fair dues.

    R.I.P James. Ireland one of the wealthiest countries in the world yet we fail our homeless. There should be no homeless people in a country like Ireland. It says more about us as a people than James as a man with no home. God bless.

Bless you r heart , and good luck with that !👌 🙏

    Its disgusting how people could treat homeless. How the fu$& could you kick a sleeping homeless person, what does that say of you and your upbringing. I don't blame Mcdonalds for not catering in their restaurants for homeless people, but couldn't they feed the homeless with their wasted food at the end of a shift??? I'm sure it's possible, I know they have the food. Why not have a mcdonalds food place in every town for homeless rather than waste the food.
