More Than One Story - Ozwald Boateng, If You Must

Cardboard Citizens and The Big Issue are proud to present a new series of short films, More Than One Story that aims to disrupt stereotypes, generalisations and misconceptions around homelessness in the UK today, as rising numbers of people are unseen, unheard and overlooked.

Written and performed by 18 extraordinary artists, each with their own lived experience of homelessness, poverty or inequity.

Introducing 3/9 – Ozwald Boateng, If You Must – a story about Johnny, a 40-something Black man on his first day selling the Big Issue, about the colliding consequences of grief, racism and a system stacked against him. By multi-award-winning playwright and Cardboard Citizens Ambassador, Roy Williams, performed by David Olapoju. Directed by Chris Sonnex, Cardboard Citizens Artistic Director and Joint CEO.
