A fundraising event in association with ‘At the Flicks’ Film Podcast. Live podcast recording and Q&A with the director and homeless advocate Steve Gower. 


Join us for a one-off event to raise the funds to finish the documentary. Stroud based film podcast ‘At The Flicks’ are hosting and recording an interview with the director and homeless advocate Steve Gower. ‘Black Dog Way’ is a feature-length documentary filmed between 2019 – 2023, capturing the lives of Gloucestershire’s homeless community centring around Steve’s activism. 

‘In the winter of 2016, Steve found himself homeless aged 49, in the wake of a family tragedy. His story is like many others. 219,000 in England alone, every single year. Steve was a victim of circumstance and a man suffering from his memories. He became trapped moving through the support system, trying and failing to navigate his way back. Experiencing the system from the inside, he saw it as fundamentally broken. After getting himself back on his feet, he vowed to ensure others wouldn’t go through the same experience. He became a homeless advocate, helping people and asking for nothing in return. In doing so, he became a voice for those in need. He remained determined in the belief that things could and should be better. Steve set out to do just that. This is Steve’s story.’


We’ll be talking through the progress of the film from pre- to post-production and the important issues and storis we’ve heard along the way. The event is free to attend but spaces are limited on a first-come first-served basis. So, get down early and join us for an evening of debate and discussion.’
