Episode 1

Many white working-class men are struggling in today’s society - low education, poor jobs, high crime.

Filmmaker Dan Murdoch spends a year on the fringes of Manchester in some of Britain's most deprived estates. He finds anger, resentment and frustration. But he also finds a spirit of camaraderie among the estates that are fighting to stay above water - fighting not to be forgotten.

In this episode, Mikey puts on a party for his community and Jordan tries to survive on the streets.
