Fame Asylum
Fame Asylum is a 2006 documentary that followed the progress of a boy band made up of four asylum seekers and aired on Channel 4. The Guardian said it was among the worst ideas in TV history,[1] and the programme was also nominated for a Royal Television Society Award.[2]
It is available to watch on 40D,[3] and has some accompanying learning resources.[4]
The artist who initiated the documentary, Richard DeDomenici, has compiled an archive of material responding to the project,[5] and has written an article about it [6] for Refugee Week, who collaborated on the project.
