## Resource

In 1997 Prime Minister Tony Blair promised the nation that there would be no forgotten people in the Britain he would build. Old is an investigative documentary from Kate Blewett and Brian Woods (Eyes of a Child, Slavery and The Dying Rooms) that shows that being old and forgotten are tragic, undeniable realities for many people in Blair's Britain. Through a handful of characters we are given an insight into a grim future that could await any one of us.Want to watch more full-length Documentaries?
