Impoverished Britain

Synopsis

The loss of minimum wage in Britain has resulted in the gap between the rich and the poor growing hugely. Newtown just outside Birmingham is looking dirty, rundown and old. 50 % of its citizens are unemployed, living in grey towerblocks overlooking the urban devastation. The flats are poorly equipped with basic furnishings. All people can do is watch television. As the rich people get richer, the poor get poorer. Chris Pond from the Low Pay Unit blames poverty and hardship on the Conservative Government's free market economy and their opt-out from the social chapter. Journeyman Pictures investigates the harsh reality of 1990s Britain.
