Documentary: Dream's of a Life . . . .

When I first heard about the upcoming docu-film 'Dream's of a Life' I literally stopped everything that I was doing.  The story is so powerful that it left me in a dichotomy of loving and fearing it.  It is after all probably every one's worst nightmare: a woman found dead after three year's alone, wrapping paper from Christmas strewn around the room and television still on.  It is a harrowing and unforgettable story of Joyce Vincent, a beautiful and talented singer who died in isolation in her Wood Green flat. 


Joyce Carol Vincent

When she was eventually found three years later, she was completely unrecognisable which lead the director, Carol Morley on a mission to find people who knew her while she was alive.  The tale is so moving and to me teaches us that life is precious and can be taken away at any time.  We must live life and we must love life and one another.  It really is too short to exclude people or let a harsh words settle.  We are all human so let's try to forgive one another rather than hanging onto things that are simply just petty. The film is being released in the UK by independent film makers Dogwoof on December 16.
