Anne Wallace

A decade ago God gave Anne Wallace a mission in a dream: to save the souls of the working women of Glasgow. The unlikely vehicle was a purple double-decker bus, and ever since, Anne has been offering support through tea, soup and the words of the gospel, whether they are listened to or not.

‘Night Shift’ is a portrait of Anne and two of the women aboard the bus as they cope with the hardest of circumstances, finding in each other their own, unlikely, saviour.
