Review of Generation Next: Citizenship


This is standard BBC fare, with the usual high quality production values. It's part of the BBC's "Generation Next" series of documentary programs about what "youth" means in different societies and cultures worldwide. This program deals with youth citizenship and the ability to vote by people under age 18. I couldn't help but think the program would have been better if we had heard more voices from people under age 18. Host Robin Lustig does a fine and professional job, but I wanted to hear more from the perspective of the subjects of the piece.
