SKINT is a collection of seven dramatic individual stories of poverty, across the four nations of the UK. Curated by Lisa McGee, creator of Derry Girls, and actor and director Peter Mullan, all the writers and directors on SKINT are from a deprived socio-economic background.

At a time when 14.5 million people in the UK are living in relative poverty and 2.4 million people, including half a million children, are destitute, SKINT tells the story of the actual, lived experiences of those in poverty and challenges the often negative media stereotypes about what it means to be poor.

In select cinemas from 18th November 2022.
