Where We Stop
Directed by Rachel Coburn
UK
Sophie gets the bus each day. Same route, same seats, with pals or on her own. Life shifts when she starts her first relationship with Jack, who begins joining her on the journey. At first the bus feels full of laughs and comfort. Small moments start to build and something feels off. Control starts to show and the bus feels harder to step off. Where We Stop highlights early signs of abuse in young women’s relationships. The film was made with young women in Glasgow to spark conversation and support awareness.
