The Trailer from Eco-Anxiety can be found via the following link: https://youtu.be/bzNwodDjdkA
The subject of Eco-Anxiety is a growing topic of concern among young people as more and more grapple with the frightening reality, that looks like their future. Thinking it's not your problem only goes to ensure it becomes your problem. Filming started in Autumn 2021 on the first documentary film in this series of climate change documentaries. Eco-Anxiety will be the first to be released in 2022.
Bea is a 16-year-old South-East London, student and climate activist. She’s is a member of Teach The Future, (TTF) a UK wide youth-led organisation who campaign for climate action, education and justice in the political realm as well as at a grassroots level.
Now she is routinely in conversation with high-level influencers and policymakers, persuading those in institutional power about the need and importance of sufficient and relevant climate education.
However before Bea joined TTF, She suffered from an eco-anxiety induced eating disorder that during that period became a prevailing influence within her life. She has now fully recovered and champions the cause to raise awareness of the dangers of eco-anxiety, climate misinformation and how climate education can be an important tool in addressing the growing number of young people now caught in the grip of Eco-Anxiety.

I'm Holly, (UK) a creative writing student at the University of Chichester, and I would like to see the Tories ousted from the government because they're not making the changes we need.

Lilly (USA) I am a passionate theatre person and I am very passionate about solving climate change.
I frequently discuss climate change with my classmates and actively contribute to preventing it, but when I leave my school I am not met with the same energy. Unfortunately, climate change has become politicized and I am not of age to vote. So my goal is to study environmental science and urban design to study the causes of climate change and help those who cannot help themselves. Please listen to your children and peers, climate change is an oncoming disaster that can be prevented. So Go Vote!!
