“Safe“ (1993)

Antonia Bird’s first feature length film; “Safe“ from 1993, focused on the plight of the homeless in London, this powerful drama written by Al Ashton (The Firm) starred Kate Hardie, Aidan Gillen, Robert Carlyle, Steven Mackintosh, Andrew Tiernan, Joe Swash and Marsha Thomason. Never released on DVD, converted from an old VHS I had uncovered, posting this in memory of Antonia Bird who sadly passed away this year. A great loss to British Drama. Please be advised that there are scenes of nudity and violence and some swearing, therefore this might not be suitable for younger viewers.
