Payday (2014x10)

:

This innovative, unique and hard-hitting performance documentary delves into the finances and wallets of four twenty-somethings who came of age in the financial crisis, a generation blighted by debt and overwhelmed by consumerism. Directed by Fred&Nick, narrated by George the Poet and set in Croydon, the First Cut film focuses on the contrasting lives of a diverse cast, from when they receive their payday money to when they spend it. Filmed over one summer in one of the most diverse boroughs in London, one of the most unequal cities in the world, the documentary follows the highs and lows of these members of Generation Y as they cope in one of the toughest economic times since the 1930s.
