Same Boat? Poems and short film on poverty and lockdown

'Same Boat?' is the title for both a book of poems and a short film, based on people's experiences of poverty during lockdown in 2020.

They were both produced as a result of creative workshops run by Church Action on Poverty over summer 2020, and launched during the first Challenge Poverty Week England and Wales.
