At the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, Harris Dickinson’s directorial debut Urchin premiered to great acclaim, winning the FIPRESCI Prize and a Best Actor award for Frank Dillane. Dickinson also proudly wore a t‑shirt that read: “Living on the streets is not a lifestyle choice Suella. It’s a sign of failed government policy,” referring to Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s comments in 2023 that rough sleeping “is a lifestyle choice” while defending her decision to restrict the use of tents by homeless people on the streets of Britain
Teaming up with Under One Sky, a volunteer-led charity that aims to use education, compassion, and collaboration to end homelessness in the UK and beyond, Dickinson and his production company Devisio are releasing the exclusive t‑shirt exclusively on devisiopictures.com with all proceeds going directly to the charity.

Speaking about the collaboration, Dickinson says: “Calling out people in positions of power isn’t about shaming, it’s about refusing to accept unacceptable rhetoric – this T‑shirt supports those seeking to make real change towards homelessness and inequality. All proceeds of the T‑shirt sales go towards Under One Sky.”
