The Real EastEnders (2020x39)

Air date: Jul 21, 2020

Filmed in the summer of 2019 by first-time director Ashley Francis-Roy, this documentary presents the world as seen through the eyes of children growing up on council estates on the Isle of Dogs. Brendan is a sixth-generation Islander who's lived with his nan Lynne since he was placed in care when he was four, while 12-year-old Leslie wants to be an electrician, as well as a part-time rapper and gamer - but his mum Tina worries about him hanging out with boys who seek respect and easy money.
