The Waiting List
Hope. Desperation. Twelve years on hold.

In a grey Midlands town, single mother Leanne has spent over a decade on the social housing waiting list - trapped between unaffordable rents, broken promises, and rising tides of hopelessness. Each year brings another form, another interview, another letter that changes nothing.

Meanwhile, newcomer Khalid, a former refugee turned NHS porter, joins the queue, believing in the system that once saved him. But as their lives intertwine through a community centre on the verge of closure, they begin to realise the list isn’t just about homes - it’s about who gets to move forward, and who gets left behind.

The Waiting List is a quiet, powerful portrait of modern Britain - a film about invisible people, impossible choices, and the resilience it takes just to keep going when the state forgets your name.
