Poverty and the Media: Case of the Tower

Poverty and the Media is a participatory project examining how the media treats poverty and those affected: Looking at opportunity and exclusion; representation, stigmatisation and stereotyping. Does the media bridge or increase the divide?
Project contributors are residents of Luton’s Marsh Farm Estate, Larkhall in Stockwell and the Pepys Estate, Rotherhithe.
The films offer those with first hand experience of these themes,
an unmediated right to reply, with participants involved in all aspects of the production process.
Case of the Tower shows the effects the BBC’s documentary series ‘The Tower: A Tale Of Two Cities’ had on the residents of the Pepy’s estate and their views on how their community was portrayed.
The whole collection of "Poverty and the Media" films is also available on DVD.
