Synopsis

Women over 50 are the fastest growing demographic of homeless in the developed world.  These women live in their cars, live on a friend’s couch or sofa bed, or live in short-term accommodation. The women featured in UNDER COVER are a diverse group from varied backgrounds - wealthy, poor, middle class, working, unemployed, migrant and indigenous. No matter how bad life gets, the stories these women share are balanced with resolute determination, a dry sense of humour and the eternal optimism that there is hope for them  yet.
