"I have lived in London's piss-soaked streets, 
I have lived with the sweet embrace of heroin, I have lived when I should have died.
I have lied, I have thieved, I have stripped, 
I have tricked, I have loved, I have fallen, I have survived. I could be your daughter, your mother, your lover - I could be you.
Come to hell and back with me."

Bare is an eye-opening, personal account of female homelessness, from one of Britain's most exciting film-makers, Lorna Tucker.

Lorna Tucker is an artist, writer and filmmaker, who has secured her place as one of the most exciting documentary directors working today, known for tackling big social themes with humour, ease and grace.

Sam Parker is Digital Director of British GQ, where he also co-leads on events such as GQ Heroes and GQ Men of the Year. His first book, Good Anger: How Rethinking Rage Can Change Our Lives, is out with Bloomsbury in 2025.
