Overview

Youth unemployment is a perennial problem, but this ATV film from 1972 documents a particularly challenging period for a troubled community. Exploring the efforts of central Liverpool’s Bronte Youth Centre, it follows a group of Merseyside school-leavers as they face up to inescapable fate on the dole, trying to fill their time playing table tennis and football.
