https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN8YlE7ZaU8



The title of this Panorama documentary is called 'Please Don't Take Our Child'. This programme is usually aired during the weekday (Monday- Friday). This video above was last shown in August 2009 and is normally shown on BBC One. There are no viewing figures, however the Youtube views total 120,079. This documentary is similar to mine as it highlights how a family in crisis is trying to prove that they are not irresponsible parents and that they do not want to lose their child into the care system. My documentary will be more engaging for the audience as it will show my personal experience as I am currently in care and will be talking about how I cope from a day to day. I think my story will appeal mor to the target audience (16-24 years) as I am 17 years old.

Tough Love

The title of this documentary is called Tough Love. This programme was last aired on July 6, 2015 at 10pm on POV which is an american television programme. This documentary is similar to mine as it talks about child who is about to go in care and the parents battle with the authorities to keep their child and prove that they are capable parents. My documentary will be more effective than this one because it will be based on the my personal an present situation and will arouse the curiosity of the viewer.

Jeff A Personal Documentary

The title of this documentary is called Jeff: A Personal Documentary. The last time this documentary was approximately 3 years ago (2013). The viewing figures are debatable  for this documentary however there is evidence of a viewing figure 8000 on the website called Vimeo. This documentary would certainly be a challenger as the presenter talks about his personal journey which mirrors mine. My documentary will be able to compete, as my personal perception of life in care will show my experience.
