    The film Ratcatcher (1999) is about a boy growing up in tenements and dreaming of moving out to a new housing development.

    The Scheme is a tv documentary about an estate in Kilmarnock. I don't like programmes like this, but it's not the worst of its kind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X6KfCYJx_g

    Poor Kids (2011?) shows children living in poverty in the UK. It's pretty grim for one of the richest nations in the world. Note that austerity started only a couple of years before the programme was shown, and the "bedroom tax" and the benefit cap were introduced after this programme was shown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9aSp9bFmMg https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011vnls
