This film exposes drug scenes, gangs and violence which would be a key representation of underclass citizens. I think the film is a negative representation of this specific class because the audience who watch the film would be imposed with a view that all underclass citizens do recreational drugs and are aggressive individuals; whereas in reality, that isn't true.
I think the producer of Kidulthood is trying to portray to the audience how life is for some underclass citizens and their day-to-day ordeals but doesn't really show them in a positive light or show that whilst people may be in this class, that they can get a job and work themselves up.

Good article, one of my favourite films. I agree that it portrays teens in a bad way and shows barely if not any adults in those exact same situations, which is the case in London, and even advocates it at points. Though the sequel "Adulthood" follows up on this... and whilst it still focuses primarily on teens... it does show them grow up in a more morally positive way. I do however think the film "Kidulthood" focuses too primarily on a thug subculture, and not the youth of London as a whole.
