Check out this excellent photo essay (includes audio narration as you click through the images!!) on the plight of youth coming up in London's impoverished public housing developments.

The author, Simon Wheatley, gives us the real deal from an angle that doesn't water down the details nor sugarcoat the reality. It is honest and sympathetic. It is also interesting to see how he ties in what he observes with the development of the London sound that folks call grime.

Magnum photos has a host of other current, pertinent and political material in the form of essays and podcasts up on their site! Rrrrrrrrespect!!
