Meanwhile Street, By Miranda Glover
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Connor Ryan is a 15-year-old with an alcoholic dad and a mum who vanished when he was four; Melina is a Polish au-pair who has come to London to grow up.
The two misfits live separate lives on the same street in West London, until a series of apparently unrelated incidents force both young people to flee.
Glover's busy, if at times overwritten portrait of inner-city life looks at what happens when a group of diverse Londoners are forced to confront tragedy on their doorstep. Teenagers in partiwill be drawn to this sympathetic treatment of outsiders on the run.
