Greenlit: Youth, Channel 4
Youth w/t – An ambitious five-year longitudinal project charting the progress of bright teenagers from low-income families as they attempt to follow their dreams and push against the tide of seemingly insurmountable inequality facing them.
The series comes in the wake of a recent government report which concluded Britain has among the worst social mobility of any developed nation – the richest 20 per cent are seven times more likely to get into a top university and 50 per cent of children from the poorest families get zero GCSE passes above a D grade. Prime Minister Theresa May has pledged to fight what she calls the, “burning injustice,” that, “if you’re at a state school, you’re less likely to reach the top professions than if you’re educated privately.”
The contributors will be teenagers from across Britain aged approximately between 13 and 16.
