DRAMA
We Are Who We Are
Acclaimed film director Luca Guadagnino’s first ever TV series, We Are Who We Are, is a comingof- age story about two American teenagers who live on a US military base in Northern Italy. Made for HBO and picked up by the BBC, it stars Jack Dylan Grazer as 14- year- old Fraser, who has recently moved from New York to the base. He is awkward and shy and the fact one of his two mothers, Sarah, played by Chloë Sevigny, is about to take command of the camp doesn’t make things easier. While familiarising himself with his new surroundings he meets the other American kids who live there, including the mysterious Caitlin ( Jordan Kristine Seamón), a long time resident of the camp whom he first meets while she is dressed as a boy. Tuesday, BBC1, 11: 45pm
DOCUMENTARY America’s Sex Traffic Cops
This documentary, more than two years in the making, follows a team of female police officers tackling child sexual exploitation on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona. Cases include girls as young as 15 as the unit tries to help them get away from the cycle of abuse they find themselves in, as well as targeting traffickers and punters in a series of undercover operations. Filmmaker Jezza Neumann gets to know some of the young women, meets others who have rebuilt their lives and also goes home with the officers, learning what drives them to go to such lengths to reach out to girls on the streets, who often see them as the enemy.

MUSIC
Defending Digga D
Twenty- year- old Digga D is one of the biggest up- and- coming drill artists in the UK. He’s on the brink of stardom, with his singles getting millions of views online. But he’s also been jailed for violent disorder. This film follows him as he is released from a 15- month stint in prison, at a pivotal moment in his life.
He is intent on making a success of his music career, but that’s not straightforward. Digga D is one of the first musicians in British history to be given a police Criminal Behaviour Order controlling his creative output. It means he is not allowed to release any music, or videos, without telling the police. If the music breaches the terms of his CBO – for example ‘ inciting or encouraging violence’ – they can take it down and arrest him.
The police say they target drill because it promotes and causes violence, but the genre’s supporters call this censorship and say that the art simply reflects real life. iplayer, from Tuesday
