About Trapped

What would you do if you had no job, your flat was so damp it was making your child ill, the landlord was evicting you for requesting repairs, and council house waiting lists meant there was no chance of a new home?

Trapped challenges you to find a way out of the dilemma.

Starring EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer, and shot by Tony Imi, the original director of photography for Cathy Come Home, the interactive film lets you make decisions for the crisis-struck family.
