Young Dumb and Banged Up in the Sun(2018)

Young Dumb and Banged Up in the Sun is a documentary series following young British citizens who have run into serious legal trouble abroad. Each episode examines the circumstances that led these individuals to face criminal charges in foreign countries, exploring the cultural clashes, poor decisions, and consequences that follow. The series captures their struggles within unfamiliar legal systems, often far from home and family support. Through interviews and firsthand accounts, Young Dumb and Banged Up in the Sun reveals how quickly a holiday or gap year can spiral into imprisonment, deportation, or worse. The documentary offers a sobering look at the real costs of reckless behaviour overseas and the desperate situations young Britons find themselves in when caught on the wrong side of the law in distant jurisdictions.
