I work for a charity that supports those that are experiencing homelessness, so the context of this moving short story is something I see every day. This short story shows a small glimpse into some of the realities faced daily by those sleeping rough on the streets, we see them every day, in towns and cities. Forget Me Not approaches homelessness in a slightly different way, by weaving two stories into one, both so different, but ultimately much the same. Please watch this touching short film, and always count your blessings.

You would have to be a zombie to enjoy this rubbish. Poor plot, amateur actors & special effects that look like they fell out of a corn flake box. I usually enjoy films that are against the grain, but this has to be in a poor league of it's own. I should have known this would be as bad as it's title. You really would be better watching a blank screen.

I lived in Northern Ireland for 10 years, I came from England. My knowledge of Northern Ireland amounted to orchestrated news stories and nothing more. This poetic documentary moved me entirely, and my wife who is native to Belfast. I shed more than one tear as did my wife. Helena Bereen's narrative is utterly moving. The use of iconic places interjected with historical facts make this documentary more a work of love than a determined exercise in Northern Irish divide. I have seen many documentaries and films concerning Northern Ireland, but I have never been moved so much by any. I Am Belfast is a visual poem, a testimony of the people of Belfast who once opened their doors to one another, sharing vibrancy and acceptance until a dark cloud moved over the waters and overshadowed everything in it's path. Even as I write this review I can still hear the voice of Belfast and I hope I continue to hear it long into my days.
