Case studies

Ex-offender Junior Smart has succeeded not only in turning his own life around, he’s also making a positive difference in the lives of others. With the support of St Giles Trust, Junior’s SOS Project works with young people to break the cycle of re-offending by helping them build realistic goals for the future.

 

Film and video

This short documentary-style film was shot on location in London in just two days. Junior and other ex-offenders offer honest and moving testimony about their life in and out of prison, and how they are now committed to helping individuals break the cycle and get back into education, training and employment. At the heart of the film is Lawrence, a convicted car thief and former crack user who, thanks to the SOS Project, is now working hard to support his 7 year-old daughter and save for her university education.
