Them
posted by Steve Bowbrick
A Saturday lunchtime doc about teen tribes, aimed at members of said tribes, from the BBC’s ‘teen brand’ Switch. Not hard-hitting, not an exposé; no ASBOs, nothing feral here. It’s a kind of Observer’s Guide (useful for you trend watchers). The teens featured (a skater and an ‘indie’ in this episode) take a joyful, uncomplicated pride in their affiliations and there’s something lovely about the way their friends do too—even when they don’t precisely share them. It’s a little celebration of teen diversity and acceptance. A real pleasure.
You can see the other shows in the series here and ‘build your own tribe member‘ is good fun.
