LIFEPROOF

PROGRAMME 2: STACEY

Stacey is 17 and has a 10-month-old baby called Jack. She is no longer with Jack's father, Will, aged 18. The central issue for this programme is that Stacey wants Will to spend more time with his son, so that Jack will grow up knowing him. Will wants to get more involved but is unreliable. With a camera to record their feelings, and the advice of their friends, Will and Stacey try to reach a compromise.

PROGRAMME AIMS

• To emphasise the difficulties of being a young single parent
