Bradford: City of Dreams (SBS) Welcome to Bradford Part 1:
Depressed, decaying and culturally divided. Bradford in Northern England is a city that has come to define the grim-up-north epithet, and with the huge influx of immigrants from Pakistan, it has earned the label “Bradistan.” Throw in two sets of racially motivated riots, and its reputation appears sealed forever. Cue super-cars, sleek restaurants, happening Shisha lounges and Asian multi-millionaires in their early 30s. The look is more Monte-Carlo than Islamabad – except with a few more terraced houses and Yorkshire moors in the background. As well as the largest Muslim population outside of London, Bradford has the youngest and fastest growing population. And the young Bradfordians of today have a very different attitude to their parents: they want to make it big, get rich, and show it off. [UK | documentary]
