LOLLIPOP: Daisy-May Hudson on Depicting the Heartbreaking Impact of a Failing Care System
Manage episode 487862327 series 1581

In this episode we’re joined by Daisy-May Hudson whom we last spoke to as part of our London Film Festival coverage alongside co-director Sophie Compton for their feature documentary Holloway. Today, Daisy-May returns as the writer-director of feature drama Lollipop, which stars a captivating Posy Sterling as a young woman newly released from prison after serving four months, who is forced to struggle against a not fit for purpose child protection system to regain custody of her children. With Lollipop arriving on cinema screens this week as part of its Q&A tour, before being released nationwide on the 13th June, Sarah caught up with Daisy-May to learn all about how she made the move from documentary to narrative features.
