Henry Barnes

Guardian

The doc's short on context, and too forgiving of its poster boys, but as a study of their commitment to bettering themselves and the community, it's inspiring.

Rated: 4/5

Woolcock's latest refuses to accept an oversimplification of the situation - and demands that the audience do the same.
