66 Months: Under the Radar is a 2011 British documentary film directed by James Bluemel focusing on a homeless Nigel Fletcher surviving 6 years without government assistance.
Through scenes dealing with abuse, mental illness and alcoholism, the film tells the story of the two's friendship and shows the relationship between the pair.
[1][2][3][4] According to the filmmakers: Every year, thousands of people slip through the net of social care provision into a dark, lonely and often dangerous underworld.
Told from Nigel’s perspective, this film juxtaposes his present experience of institutional life with a series of memories and flashbacks from his time in the 'wild'.
But this touching and very personal film reaches beyond these to provide an intimate and complex portrait of a dysfunctional relationship in which physical suffering is ultimately preferable to loneliness.
