For a television movie this is really good and it has an almost circular format. It is quite simple, most likely due to censorship by the BBC, but I am not complaining because this is such a rare view inside the life of a care kid/care leaver. I haven't come across many (maybe any) fictional accounts of life in care other than tracy beaker so to have one that is a true story I feel so honoured to have watched it. I assume that this isn't overly dramatised, in fact it is most likely quite underplayed. I think that it is also rare to see the point of view in media of a young adult who isnt in active education…
