Life & Debt: Stories from the Edge

Directed by Emma Slifkin

Britain is experiencing the largest fall in living standards since records began almost 70 years ago, with the rising cost of everyday essentials - such as food and household bills - thought to have pushed many into poverty. ITV News' Daniel Hewitt has followed the impact of this crisis for more than a year and examines how it's changed lives across the country. Filmed over the course of the winter, he follows working people battling every day just to stay afloat, shocked by how their circumstances have changed and often unable to see light at the end of the tunnel.
