Benefits Streets- By Jodie O'Neill

Recently, a new documentary has been hosted by Channel 4 called Benefits Streets, which focuses on the James Turner Street in Birmingham. This particular road is notorious for the low levels of unemployment and the high levels of benefit claiming. This Channel 4 documentary follows the everyday lives of the people who live on this deprived street and documents the problems followed by the lack of education, motivation and awareness to better themselves.



This documentary has created a lot of debate and speculation. BBC London Radio Station have been discussing the content displayed on each episode and many listeners have rang in to display their sympathy or anger at the people who live in James Turner Street. Some argue that the show is right-wing propaganda that stigmatizes the lives of people who seek benefits and presents them as lazy, whereas others have argued that it is left-wing propaganda that is highlighting the gaps in society and that the state is not doing enough to help its people. Whatever the reason, the show has enjoyed large success and gains a high level of viewers every week.

Many people who watch the show have been displaying their opinions on Facebook, Twitter and even Snapchat, in which they have been filming the most controversial aspects of the show. My documentary could receive social debates if it was publicly televised and it is a great way to investigate public opinion.
