Revealing and upsetting scenes in this film.
These four mums are caring for their sons who have complex needs that result in distressing and harmful behaviour.
They want to highlight the result of cuts in services.

Newry is, in my mind, about 98% nationalist. But this is what is fed on a weekly basis to readers of the Brian Feeney column in the Irish News. A sort of Catholic exceptionalism that many are quick to buy into. Below, a black careworker dies running for her life from thugs.

This week's front page: The brother of a nurse, who died after running away from thugs in
Newry, says those behind the attacks on his sister – and their families - “need to know what they have achieved".

Bhim Kohli an 80 year old Indian man was murdered by children on his way home from the park.
It's not getting much coverage because he was an immigrant and the Media must portray them as criminals not as victims.
But we aren't the Media.
Community note
The brutal murder of 80 year pensioner Bhim Kohli was a front page story in several of the UK's national papers on September 4th, 2024:
