Benefits By The Sea: Life in Britain's Poorest Seaside Town S1E1 | A True Story

Video Description

This documentary series follows the community of Jaywick in Essex, where more than half of the residents are living on benefits. High levels of unemployment have turned the once-thriving seaside village into one of the most blighted areas in the country. Cameras capture images of the Brooklands estate, a part of Jaywick that is highly deprived. Episodes show local resident Carl being evicted, landlords inspecting damage to their properties, and a former armed robber from London's East End living in a caravan that has heating problems. #atruestory
