Faith, Hope and Charity

In a run-down community hall on the edge of town, a woman has been cooking lunch for those in need. A volunteer starts up a choir, looking for a new beginning. A mother fights desperately to keep her young daughter from being taken into care. An older man sits silently in the corner, the first to arrive and the last to leave. Alexander Zeldin's devastating and compassionate portrait of economic precarity in Britain reveals both the failings of the welfare state and our stubborn human capacity to care for one another.
