In episode two (19.00 start) we meet a Formula One engineer, a community activist, an artist, a Roma woman and a young couple setting up home in London. The screening concludes with episode 3 (19.45) showing us the lives of a footballer, an IT student, a DJ and a free runner.

We end the evening over drinks and a Q&A with Anda & Dragos Teglas from This is Insomnia, the production company behind 13 SOR.
