Here are some interesting links about the context of our film. I feel that, although the riots were extremely wrong, the media played a huge part in creating a new ideology concerning young adults. They spread the attitude that all teenagers are yobs; stealing, fighting and gang wars. This is the main ideology that we want to challenge as it's something we feel very strongly about! Nowadays, most elderly people won't even look at you for fear of being attacked.

The link above is very interesting- social media chiefs were being questioned over the misuse of media during the riots. Social Media has been described as 'a way around complying with the law.) Rioters used their mobile phones to inform their friends and to get them to join the riots.
