- Summary
- Based on the grassroots movement and Netflix film hosted by Morgan Freeman, this is a beautiful, moving and inspiring collection of photographs capturing the stories behind those living on the streets across the globe. Joshua Coombes is an Exeter-born hairstylist and founder of #DoSomethingForNothing, a movement encouraging people to connect their skills and time to those who need it. When Coombes launched the project in 2015, his intention was to positively impact people's lives by offering free haircuts to those experiencing homelessness. By posting transformative images on Instagram, his platform continues to grow as he amplifies the stories of many that go unheard. Coombes' mission caught the attention of media outlets in Europe and has rippled worldwide. Coverage includes appearing in National Geographic's new series The Story of Us with Morgan Freeman, released on Netflix internationally. Today, Coombes continues his efforts in new countries, humanizing this issue globally.
