Big question here: Who is saying this? A man or a woman? What is his or age/occupation (if employed), character, etc. and what part does this character play in the plot?

feature I'm with Marjory, feature TO doesn't work, even taking television mentality into account. Re alternative to show, possibly expose which would play into a TV show expose, possibly spotlight as opposed to showcase. Showcase has too positive a sense and spotlight borders on that, too, but it could work in the sense of throwing light on.
IMO, you could get away with going literal and saying marginal neighborhoods, depending on the tone of the rest of the text.

feature Yes, feature is not the most suitable... on the other hand, we are talking TV - just an idea as for the sentence can be rearranged

feature I don't think one can feature something TO someone. (it is not ditransitive) I had thought of the word slums too.
