To a certain extent Ben Drew is able to achieve what he set out. This is due to the fact that he was trying to present the lives of teenagers gowning up in urban, council estates and the circumstances they grow up in. An example of this is Ill Manors, where it shows the life of Chris who grows up around drugs and dealing and ends up as the top dealer. Furthermore, in the documentary Ben Drew states he was also aiming at the teenagers who were rioting in London. This links to the psychographic group of reformers.
