Lee McConville, 22, is from Lozells, a deprived area in Birmingham notorious for gang violence, drug abuse and riots. In a radical change of environment, Lee was sent to Germany in June 2007 to report for The Times on the meeting of the world's most powerful nations - the G8 summit. Lee was mentored throughout Tony Blair's last summit by acclaimed journalist Philip Webster, The Times' Political Editor. In stark contrast to Philip's 30 years as a journalist, Lee had no experience of writing and was unsure of the relevance politics offered him or his peers.
A camera crew followed Lee's journey and the documentary was premiered on Charge (www.chargetv.co.uk), Community Channel's (www.communitychannel.org) youth platform on Saturday 30th June.
