Bouncing Back

Former tennis pro Louise Pleming was circling the globe as a tennis commentator and elite coach when her life took a dramatic turn. Three years ago, she had a chance meeting with Brian Turton at the homeless shelter where she volunteered. Mental health issues had ended Brian’s hopes of a professional tennis career and he’d been living on the streets for years, estranged from his family and friends. Filmed over three years, this is an intimate portrait of a unique and life-changing friendship.
