NEW 2008 Ex-Forces and Homeless On any given night in London alone there are thought to be more than a thousand homeless veterans, and in some parts of the country they number 12% of the homeless population. In this moving and powerful film Ken Hames, a veteran of 27 years experience, takes to the streets to find out why so many ex-soldiers are homeless. And he's forced to confront his own demons as he realises he suffers the same post traumatic disorders as many of those he meets. [S] Previously on the 2006 BBC No Home campaign:
