Stacey Dooley and Reggie Yates Documentary.

Reggie Yates: Life and Death in Chicago.
In this documentary Reggie Yates went to Chicago, an area with the largest number of gun crime in America. Every week there is a large number of injured or dead involved in gun crime. There were a couple of innocent people shown in the episode who had not done anything bad but were in the crossfires. The documentary also highlighted the number of police brutalies that occured in Chicago. There was one case where a women was in the car with her 2 young children and was pulling up into her driveway where the police were, they then approached the car and started shouting telling her to get out. The women backed out of thr driveway quickly but she was unable to escape. The policeofficer crashed into her car, dragged her out and pepper sprayed her. The footage showed the other policeman laughing while this was happening, which goes to show how unsympathetic they are.
Many young people lose their lives due to gun crime. One innocent young man lost his life and his girlfriend then too lost her life a couple weeks later by gun shots. People are unable to live their life simply because of the city they grow up in.

Stacey Dooley in Greece: Migrant Kids in Crisis.
This documentary follows Stacey on her journey through Greece to explore the suffering of the people who are having to flee war and find a better lifestyle. Some of thr people she talked to gave a small insight into how brutal it is to try and get to the border. Many travelled alone which is quite difficult as there is no one to rely on while on the probaly terrifying journey. Some people had been split up from family members while getting onto other vehicles but the people are not sympathetic of thay, they are just left by themselves.

  1. Good summary of the Reggie Yates documentary (same as me) perhaps you could add some pictures and a bit more detail in Stacey Dooley's.
