Do the Right Thing, Final Documentaries

The last four participants in Do the Right Thing were given a difficult final task to spend 24 hours on the streets of Dublin and produce a five minute documentary showing what life was like. The brief given to them by Dublin Simon Rough Sleeper Team member Corinne Bogan was to tell their story of homelessness through their eyes and by doing so affect change in people's perception. As an organisation we were very impressed with the outcome.

The Dublin Simon Community was delighted to be part of Do the Right Thing and would like to congratulate their very own Louise Duffy for her participation in the show.

Below are the two final documentaries produced by Johnny & Aisling, and Carol & Mike.
