3/5-Tyrese's Story
Robert Winston presents a documentary series following the children featured in Child of Our Time. Born in inner city Birmingham, Tyrese is the third child of Marie and Jamal Hakeem. His parents have worked hard to give him a better life and a strong sense of himself as a black person, but it hasn't always gone the way they planned or hoped. By the time Tyrese is five, Marie's decided that to get the life she wants for them all she must gamble and take out a loan to open a clothes shop.
