This week on In Plain Sight join Simon as he chats to the ever enthusiastic Tara Le Flohic, a creative film maker using the medium to shine a light on homelessness, especially in women. Tara is now living her best life but it hasn't always been that way. She uses her creative skills and film making to explore and illustrate important and neglected aspects of society. She uses her experience of homelessness to share emotion and stories that are marginalised or unheard.

Tara's film project "Just Three Things" discusses the phenomena of what happens to people experiencing homelessness, focusing on female perspectives. It delves into keepsakes or possessions that are held on to and keep one going through hard times.

What things could you not bare to live without?
