The collaborative documentary Framed Youth: Revenge of the Teenage Perverts (made in 1983, transmitted on Channel 4 in 1986) can be said to mark the emergence of gay and lesbian programming on Channel 4, which itself can be seen as a ‘product of the changing political discourses instituted by the new social movements’ (Arthurs 2004, p. 28). Jane Arthurs has cited Framed Youth as being exemplary of both Channel 4’s conscious policy to commission from people who had never made programmes before, and a ‘shift in the democratic ideal of representation to one based on speaking “from” a community instead of being spoken for’ (p. 28).
