mischief: hoodies can be goodies
 
 

Inspired by the bad press young people are getting after a surge of teen-on-teen murders in the capital, Garron Mitchell, a 29-year old black man from one of London’s most violent boroughs sets out to rehabilitate the image of the British teenager.

“A perfectly pitched report, which offers a lesson in how to twin impishness with wholly compelling journalism. Taking in fashion, government expenditure and international relations, the results offer a 360-degree view of a problem that has been reduced to a hysterical tabloid polemic.”
The Sunday Times

“From gang psychology to the lengthy history of anti-youth propaganda, the results offer a panoramic, self-infused view of a topic that has been reduced to a headline penned by an idiot.”
The Guardian

Filmed, produced and directed by Lee Phillips, visual effects by Matt Melrose for the BBC.
