Award-winning Greater Manchester film depicting ex-teacher wasting away on benefits returns to independent cinema

After getting a ‘stunned silence’ at their sold out show, a local film director and writer is bringing back his feature film.

Once again, one of the region’s newest independent cinemas will host a free screening of ‘Nobody Loves You and You Don’t Deserve to Exist’, giving locals a chance to witness their surroundings in Greater Manchester on the big screen in the historic Spinners Mill. Brett Gregory, writer/director of the multi award-winning Manchester feature film, is “absolutely thrilled” to announce that Manchester’s oldest homeless charity, Lifeshare, and Wigan’s suicide prevention charity, EPiC HOPE, will both be actively involved in a free public screening of the film at Leigh Film Factory.

This self-funded production – which New York’s esteemed Jacobin magazine recently hailed as ‘the best film about working-class Britain in years’ – charts what life was like in Manchester under three Conservative Prime Ministers: Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s, John Major in the 1990s and Boris Johnson in the 2020s.
