Ross Kemp on gangs
For those of you out there who are not aware of this show, Ross Kemp on Gangs was broadcast a few years back on Sky One.
This documentary saw Ross going to countries all around the globe to try and get a handle of how men got involved with gangs. As well as seeing how young men are tempted into the gang life, it also shows the effects that the violence had on the communities at large.
They usually, in my opinion, put out extremely superficial documentaries, or whenever they do put out documentaries, they are extremely one sided.
Ross Kemp on gangs bucks this trend. As its extremely balanced and is a detailed look at what leads people down the road in to becoming embroiled in the viscous underworld of gang culture, with out ever glamorising.
Ross Kemp on Gangs- Cape Town
synopsis of the episode
Ross Kemp visits Cape Town, South Africa, to investigate the gang problems in the South African city.
It also hammered home the point to me, that safety and I the comfort that I enjoy on daily basis is merely an accident of birth.
Every one who was involved with this show, should really be proud of themselves for making such an intelligent and well produced piece of TV journalism and a well deserved winner of it’s BAFTA award.

Jame Rolfe, is my new favorite video poster on the Interweb.
Maybe it’s the inner nerd in me, but I recently found the videos of James Rolfe on Youtube and I think that this guy is brilliant. He began posting videos under the moniker the Angry Nintendo Nerd in 2006.
his videos as the Angry NES are foul mouth outbursts about games on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). He has since gone on to reviews for other systems; they are no different.
Bible Games
He has also diversified into doing movie reviews. Which unlike when he dose his game reviews, are far more level headed and contain less of the crude elements of his Angry Video Game Nerd videos.
Rambo 2008 review
As well as branching out into reviewing movies, he has also done a series of angry rants, much closer in tone to the games reviews. They are entitled you know what’s bullshit.
You know what’s bullshit part one
If you like what he has done, then you check him out on youtube, in which he has posted up over 84 videos at the moment. In order to find them out, go on to youtube (bectchya, couldn’t figure that one out on your own)
Then in the search engine, type –
