What is meant by the team docu-drama?
Wikipedia definition - In film, television programming and staged theatre, docudrama is a documentary-style genre that features dramatized re-enactments of actual historical events. As a neologism, the term is often confused with docufiction.
Gang culture and crime.
I think Menhaj Huda has portrayed a small section of west London in this film as not all west London is this rough although some parts of it is. I also believe that he has stereotyped his characters as not all young people are this rough and violent.
Here i have proof that it does happen in west london but it doesn't happen everywhere.

1. Kidultood has been classified as a ‘docu- drama’. If you had to choose one that represented the story line correctly, documentary or drama, which would you chose and why?
I would choose a drama as i feel the film has exaggerated the storyline too far out of proportion to be non-fiction and to be classed as a documentary.

2. If you were asked to produce a ‘docu-soap’ what would it be based on?
I would have liked to base mine on how young people are portrayed in the media as i believe this is a strong issue but as that is so closely related to kidulthood i don't think i would get many viewers so i would go for how the media makes young people see them selves.
I would do this by having a group of average teens trying to become models for a high street agentcy, after a while of trying they eventuly get the job but in the end it shows how much they're photoshopped.
