A New Journalist, a New Story. Season Two of the Award-Winning Hometown Franchise is Now Out.

The second season of the award-winning Hometown franchise is out now! Fronted by journalist Amber Haque, the series sees Amber head back home to Manchester to investigate a community still reckoning with the killing of teenager Yousef Makki.

Two years in the making, Amber’s journey took her into pockets of her Hometown that she never knew existed.

“What happened to Yousef Makki in Hale Barns started a conversation that we needed to have in my hometown. About class, race, justice and what happens when you reverse the stereotypes of knives and gang culture. I’ve seen first-hand reporting on this series, that what you wear, how you talk, what music you listen to – is seen as 'silly fantasy’ in one part of town, but evidence of criminality in another.” - Amber Haque
