Yesterday I went to a screening of Hell's Pavement, Andy Kemp's impressive directorial debut about foster care.

Authentic, provocative and based entirely on true events this docu-drama style film stays with you, as uncomfortably as it is intended to. The writers behind Hell's Pavement - who have professional or personal experience of foster care - want to ignite national debate about the UK care system.

Hell's Pavement is showing today, until Thursday October 29th, at the Lexi Cinema in West London. Check the film's website for details of further UK showings.
