Her story went viral, leading to her documentary Halfway, which she crowdfunded and took to cinemas.   Now a BAFTA Breakthrough talent, her work — including feature film Lollipop — focuses on storytelling, healing, and lived experience, particularly around prison and homelessness.  This podcast is also available as a video – just search Life After Prison on YouTube.
