More about the film:

Here for Life, marks the culmination of a long collaboration between Zimmerman and theatre-maker Adrian Jackson. The film follows ten unruly Londoners as they navigate their wild and wayward way around a city framed by capital and loss, traveling on their own terms towards a co-existence far stronger than 'community'. On reclaimed land, they find themselves on the right side of history, caught between two train tracks, the present tense and future hopes. They question who has stolen what from whom, and how things might be fixed, in an often contradictory rite of passage. Finding solidarity in resistance, they demand the right to go on.
