Filmed over one summer, this documentary follows three very different teenage girls dealing with the pressures of growing up with one similarity - they are all surviving on under a tenner a day.
For Bridie, her hopes of joining the army hinge on her staying out of trouble with the police, but the trouble is always there and it's hard for her to stay out of trouble when things around her are always kicking off..
Amber is 16 and pregnant. She's fortunate that her mum is there to support her, but scraping money together for all that she needs is a task, not to mention she needs to buy things for when the baby arrives. .
Like so many British teenagers affected by the recession Shelby was on jobseeker's allowance, but she's determined to find a job. Currently completing a work placement, she really hopes it will turn into a real job.
Each of the girls lets us into their world and we witness them trying to make their dreams come true. But for some, dreams are just dreams.
This documentary is there to show how hard life can be and just how lucky some people are when they can afford to put food on the table and others can't. This documentary is aimed at everyone to show some life difficulties and how it could be prevented. I thought the documentary was useful because it will definitely help people see a different view of their lives instead of always thinking they have it hard when some people have life worse!
