Swansea: Return to the Streets continues the compelling and heartbreaking stories of the homeless in Swansea. Filmmakers Chris Rushton and Tracy Harris now want to catch up with some of those they have filmed over a period that now spans three years, and follow new stories of those who have no choice but to live on the streets.

Paul is a homeless drifter who left home at the age of 14. Now he's just turned 50 and he takes the first step to contact his long-lost family and discovers the tragic news that his mother died six years ago.

Andy is one of Swansea's long-term street alcoholics who drinks to blank out the harsh reality of sleeping rough. He's been away in Rotherham to a rehab unit and after six months, he was off the booze for the first time in 15 years. But after a relapse, Andy's right back where he started, living on the streets and trying to sort his life out.

Barry's just been released from prison. He can't go back to his family in the valleys so ends up living on Swansea's streets. After being cooped up in jail for three years, he goes on a massive drinking binge and then has to battle to prevent himself slipping into alcoholism.

Tim, who is 57, has a life-threatening illness, he's been told he has six months to live. But luckily he's now got his own place in supported accommodation. Yet bizarrely, Tim's still choosing to sleep rough on the streets because he can't get used to life indoors.
