My Street

My Street

Sue Bourne's street, daytime

There are more than 300 people living in the 116 houses on film-maker Sue Bourne's street, and she barely knew a soul. Now, she tweaks the net curtains and reveals remarkable stories, hidden from view, on what could be any street.

There are millionaires living next door to people on benefits, convicted drug smugglers alongside classical composers.

On her journey up and down the street she meets wild party animals and recluses, the very young and the very old.

She finds stories of success and tragedy and sees how illness and loneliness, hope and happiness have left their mark on the lives of her neighbours.

This film for Cutting Edge ranges from flashes of joy to total darkness, and reflects the rich variety of life in modern Britain.
