The online frenzy over the Kony 2012 film that went viral a few weeks ago may have died down, but another issue-based short has just reached computer screens.

The 20-minute feature, directed by the 26-year-old Lucy Tcherniak, focuses on the fictional friendship between Stanley, an elderly Congolese man, and Sam, a young boy on the run from a life of domestic abuse.

'The Truth About Stanley' will go straight to the internet to give an alternative view of the Olympics city
A short film designed to raise awareness about Britain's rising rates of homelessness is to be premiered in London this week before becoming one of the latest professional productions to go straight to the internet.
The Truth About Stanley depicts the unlikely relationship between an elderly Congolese man and a young runaway boy both sleeping rough on the streets of London. It stars award-winning Kenyan actor Oliver Litondo and 12-year-old British actor Raif Clarke and has already been called the "Cathy Come Home for the 21st century" by one critic.
The film is released as the UK's homelessness rates increase: last month government figures showed the numbers of rough sleepers had risen by a fifth in England, while there was a 14% year-on-year rise in the numbers applying for homelessness assistance.
