SPREADERS

To mark the 1st anniversary of lockdown in the UK, over 40 young people collaborated online, to produce this uniquely crowd-filmed short documentary. The film reveals their concerns about the effect of restrictions on young people’s lives. Using web cams and mobiles, their tales weave a compelling case. Young people have been labelled uncaring, ignorant, super spreaders, their education degraded and job prospects severely curtailed. Breaking the silence, Spreaders raises serious questions, has lockdown done more harm than good? Was it necessary to wreck one of the best years of young people’s lives?

Thank you worldwrite for providing young people with this platform to share their experiences of lockdown.

Excellent short doc worth showing everywhere. I should think it is pretty representative of young people's experience so a valuable document of the period. It is sad serious alternatives to lockdown were not allowed to be aired as I think we would have seen students protesting had that happened.

Giving people a voice is important. This does just that. The world needs more videos like this.

What a great film shedding light on the harsh reality of this lockdown for many. Expertly put together in the given circumstances, I might add!

This is a powerful, eloquent documentary that puts across the voices of those who have been so rarely heard during this pandemic

So great to finally hear a variety of opinions from young people! Our country's media has vilified its youth and turned a blind eye to the many adults who have bent and broken the government guidelines.

Great to hear unheard voices.

This is a great documentary, which gives unheard and misrepresented people a chance to express their opinion on covid and lockdown!

A great film to hear youth's voice

[@peterson17able]

The young people in the film sound more reasonable and considered than the media commentators and politicians. Who'd have guessed?
