Info

Children growing up in poverty is the subject of Smashing Kids, 1975. John Pilger meets the Hopwoods, of Liverpool, where hunger has become a way of life during father Harry’s unemployment as his family of five survive on £1 a day. The wallpaper in their council house is torn and there are no clothes in the couple’s wardrobe and no sheets on their bed. The family have never had a holiday and Harry tells Pilger: “It would be easier to serve time than to put up with this.”

Smashing Kids Audience Reviews

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
