John Pilger Smashing Kids 1975

Have times really changed?. Children growing up in poverty is the subject of Smashing Kids, 1975. John Pilger meets the Hopwoods, of Liverpool, where hunger has become a way of life during father Harry’s unemployment as his family of five survive on £1 a day. The wallpaper in their council house is torn and there are no clothes in the couple’s wardrobe and no sheets on their bed. The family has never had a holiday and Harry tells Pilger: “It would be easier to serve time than to put up with this.”
