Overview
About this programme
Being made redundant can feel devastating for many people
and has been called "a social invitation to depression." The film reflects the huge impact this can
have on people’s lives and the range of emotions expressed from thoughts of
disbelief and revenge, to the realisation of a chance for a new beginning.
"I lost all sense of my self-worth. It was
like identity theft."
"When I first heard
the news I felt strangely liberated – but then it turned to hopelessness, fear
and my self-confidence collapsed."
