How is ethnicity represented in the Spooks extract?
Spooks is a TV drama series about a group of MI5 officers.
Throughout this episode there is many techniques used to represent ethnicity.
When the Iraqi woman is first introduced into the scene no sympathy is given because she comes across as a stereotypical terrorist with no compassion for the man or the situation that her superiors have put the female spy in. This however slowly begins to change as the woman tells the spies about how the US and British troops have gone to Iraq and killed her whole family. This makes the viewer sympathise more with the woman because in her head she has a valid reason why she is involved in the crimes and she is not catagorised in the typical ethnic stereotype of terrorist.
