The Trouble with Girls - Great Resource

Check out this great film shown last night on BBC Two - The Trouble with Girls. The film gives a really good insight into how gender and class combine to shape the lifechances of these three girls from Rochdale. It would have been so easy to have simply portrayed the girls negatively, but what comes across instead is a moving and sympathetic picture which shows how reflexive the girls are, yet at the same time, how little power, and how few resources they have to avoid the pitfalls that lie in wait for them.

It’s on iPlayer for a week, so catch it while you can.
