Heroin Addiction

Remarkable Film of Life with Heroin-Addicted Mum

VIDEO – YOU ONLY HAVE ONE MUMMY –

April 8, 2023 – This impressionistic British documentary collage, collectively made by Selby, co-director Rebecca Lloyd-Evans, Alex Fry, Josie Cole and producer Natasha Dack Ojumu, explores motherhood, addiction, inherited pain and artistic growth with candour, reflection and love – complicated, knotty, conflicted love, but love nonetheless.

It’s a remarkable work, which deservedly won the audience award at the London film festival last year. And it’s an act of real artistic generosity and bravery on the part of Selby, who bares her rawest emotional wounds and shares her lowest moments on this quest to fill the missing parts of her life. A swirling score loops through the film, tying together the snippets of elusive memories that Selby captures in film and audio recordings, in her attempt to find something concrete within the chaos of her mother’s life.
