Bobby Friction explores British South Asian identity...
Posted on Fri Oct 12/07 by indianelectronica...in a great documentary called 'Generation 7/7'
The doc's pretty interesting; BBC Radio 1 and Asian Network dj/presenter Bobby Friction jumps in a van and heads out to the town where 4 supposed terrorists grew up and in trying to answer questions about why they might've done what the media purports (i.e. organize bombings around London on 7 July 2005). In the process of trying to get answers he realizes that perhaps the larger issue lies in how the media industry relates to both the communities it exposes through reporting as well as its audience.
