The Working Class


This event is in the past. This is an archive page for reference.

Commissioned by Channel 4 and first screened in 2005, Working Class is written and presented by the author and broadcaster Michael Collins, and inspired by his controversial and critically-acclaimed book The Likes of Us: A Biography of the White Working Class.

Winner of the Orwell Prize for political writing, the book, like the film, uses Collins experience, his family history, and the backdrop of the Elephant & Castle as a cue to the wider story of a tribe that has become disenfranchised and demonised in the 21st century.
