Evicted

Evicted is back with an Evicted Revisited programme to be aired on BBC One at 10.35pm on Wednesday 28th November 2007.

Last year's Evicted was an emotional film from BAFTA award-winning director Brian Woods. It was a damning indictment of the failure of the government to adequately address the problem of homelessness in 21st century Britain. It followed three young girls and their families into the nightmare of homelessness and their search for a home.

Watch the trailer and our additional, exclusive online documentary featuring Tara and her four girls.

Charlotte (13), Sarah (15) and Chloe (8) are homeless. In a country where people can own two or three homes, these are the stories of those who don't have one. Watch the trailer.
Exclusive online documentary: Tara and her family
Tara and her four girls were homeless for over two years, due to fleeing community violence in Middlesborough in 2004. For 12 months the family lived in two rooms in a Victorian style hostel in one of London's wealthiest areas. They talk about the trauma of being made homeless, the real difficulties of life in two rooms and their struggle to move on.
