Motherhood: Jane & Tom: Portfolio
I was fortunate enough to live with Jane and Tom for three years prior to filming this documentary. Jane and Tom have a beautiful relationship that I witnessed during my time living with them. In this documentary Jane talks about the challenges she has faced when trying to provide Tom with a secure future. They allowed me to film them for a day to showcase the importance of their story and to hopefully provoke change in the way the UK system is run regarding
adult disability.
