The Dr Who Gave Up Drugs

Are our kids taking too much medication? This film looks at childhood conditions, from allergies to mental health issues and asks whether we’re too quick to turn to medical treatments as a quick fix.

“The likeable TV doctor, who spent 10 years working in the NHS, visited a mother who had bottles of Calpol – paracetamol dissolved in a sweet tasting syrup – in almost every room just in case. One GP’s assertion that “Calpol is the heroin of childhood” seemed apt. There were more syringes in her kitchen drawer than Ewan McGregor had in Trainspotting."
The Telegraph

"Many will have identified with Mason’s mother’s admission that she kept him away because his ADHD made her angry. Tears flowed as she described how she had reconnected with her son: through meditation exercises. It was immensely moving. How heartening it was when Mason declared after a drug-free day at school: 'I can be myself, not take the tablet and be someone else.' "

Slum Britain: 50 Years On

Landmark documentary marking the 50th anniversary of the charity Shelter contrasting the lives of people who lived in the slums of the 1960s with those living through the housing crisis of today.

"The photographs themselves are eloquent enough, but the documentary is also perceptive and lucid on the psychological toll that’s exerted by poverty: shame, boredom and an anger that can poison everything it touches." - The Guardian

"These people, except for a few tragic street dwellers, had roofs over their heads but not homes. Inside their council-found accommodation, families were too rammed together to prosper. Outside, there was a vacuum. Removed from their friends, family and communities, they were stranded. People spoke of feeling invisible. It took me a time to get the point, but I won’t forget it now." - The Times
