Documentary following the fortunes of six families living on a large housing scheme in north-west Kilmarnock over the course of 18 months. The first programme introduces the Cunninghams, whose eldest son is about to be sent to prison, and a single mother-of-two who provides shelter to homeless people
Please watch the programme to get an insight into the lives of people who have a rather grim start in life and whose prospects are not great. This may give you some empathy for the plight of the disadvantaged and help you give a more balanced view in an essay question on the topic of poverty/income inequality.
