Help me find this 90s documentary...

Posting for traffic as telly addicts haven't had much response
I remember watching a British documentary in the early 90s about a young teenage girl bought up in a housing estate in East London (Hackney I think) she was a raver and the follow up documentary showed her as a young mum.
Can't remember what it was called but I was fascinated by it as a teenager myself at the time. I have a feeling the girl was perhaps called Gemma?
Help me mumsnetters

Summer on the Estate? It’s from the 90s and is about residents on a Hackney estate.

Can’t really help but she was definitely called Gemma if it was in the 90s! I think about 10% of girls in my year were called Gemma!

Everley - not summer on the estate 😔 it was very much focused on this one girl and the follow up was a couple of years later when she had moved into her own flat with a child, she talked to the female documentary maker throughout and it was narrated by a female.
AH - Gemma's everywhere 😃

It wasn't the Lowdown on cbbc? Featured a young girl who became pregnant but cannot remember if she had a flat 🤔

No idea but this list might help trigger something!

I remember the exact documentary, she described how she had been raped on a camping trip and she lives in flat number 69 on a large estate. When they updated she was being supported by social services but during the course of the documentary was removed from their lists.

Sorry don't remember the name though!

Could it have been a World in Action episode?

Crispsandwiches - Yes!!
Definitely don't think it was a CBBC thing. I remember watching it quite late at night and they showed her smoking joints etc

I remember it but no idea of the name.

Not sure if this will help, mentions a film documentary called fifteen (1999) and the follow up cutting edge Kimberley, young mum ten years on. Filmed in london and talks about social sevices.
