Synopsis

From heartbreaking poverty, through a life on the edge, to a remarkable redemption -- the incredible life story of the founder of the BIG ISSUE.

John Bird has changed the lives of countless people, but first of all he had to change his own. Herehe turns his attention to his own past and traces his life from the slums of Paddington, through crime, vagrancy and homelessness, to redemption when he launched the BIG ISSUE. A brilliant evocation of a lost era and a life which could so easily have gone another way, SOME LUCK is a moving, gripping and frequently funny account of a highly singular career. It is also a great testament to the human ability to overcome adversity, when energy meets that rarer quality, opportunity.
