A piece from me on Sean Baker's long and winding road to Oscars glory, taking in my various encounters with him over the years. When I first met him he seemed to be on the edge of defeat, borrowing money from his parents to get by. But he never lost his way, or his integrity. I wrote about that.

£15 left to raise and then Colin can have a well deserved break. ⛱️ Any shares or small donations from Manchester people who know him will get us over the finishing line. 🙏
