The main points of this documentary was about poor kids in the UK living in poverty. In this documentary film the commentator was pin-pointing 4 different kids living condition from different areas filming them on their day to day bases of living. The ethical issue being addressed was Poverty. To show what is going on in the UK, and to bring awareness of people of lower class and how they live. My reaction to this film was I was surprised. The reason I say surprised cause honestly when I think of poverty I think of my ethnicity poor. I never got to see in depth of other races poor which was extremely poor.
