MovieDrama
Ann (Kerry Walker) cleans for a living. She confronts problems like a vacuum cleaner sucks up dirt from the carpet. She shares everything she has with her two moody children (Noah Taylor, Sarah Hooper) and her equally erratic neighbours. She also shares everything her rich and constantly out-of-town employers have. While Ann vacuums her clients’ penthouses, her friends enjoy the million dollar views, luxury appointments, home gyms, cocktails by the pool - the things they have always wanted, but could never in their wildest dreams afford.

15 peaceful protesters in March 2017 put up a banner airport-side at Stansted Airport to contest a deportation flight, on which they knew were people whose cases had not been heard, or resolved, and who faced extreme danger on return. What happened next is truly shocking, and should concern us all.
