Jade: The Reality Star Who Changed Britain – Episode 1


Robert Coldstream, Clare Cameron, Justin Badger, Jane Greaves & Edmund Coulthard for Blast! Films Channel 4


Jade Goody wasn’t the first Reality TV star – but she was the biggest. The most loved. The most hated. Earning millions from the tabloids and branded products she seemed unstoppable – but flew too close to the sun and became Britain’s most loathed woman. A dark fairy tale, Jade shines a light onto the battleground of class politics and social change in Britain in the early part of this century.


Timely and nostalgic, this film covers a fascinating character in an intellectually stimulating way, centred within contemporary British history. It links themes relating to Brexit, the disenfranchisement of the working class, phone hacking and the duty of care scandal in an exciting narrative package.
