   This is Fear of Missing Out: young people living in the UK talking about the stuff we wish we learnt at school.

   Episode 2: Felix

   This is Fear of Missing Out: young people living in the UK talking about the stuff we wish we learnt at school. Felix is a 20 year old playwright, poet and performer from Liverpool. He came out as trans when he was 14 and, in his words, it has become harder, not easier, to be a young out trans person in the public eye. Felix looks at the history of how queer people have been presented in the UK media, to try and contextualise how trans people are spoken about in the media today. Felix speaks to Justin Bengry, Ugla Stefanía Kristjönudóttir Jónsdóttir and Marc Thompson. A special thank you to Melodic Distraction, and The Bishopsgate Institute. This documentary deals with transphobia. Take care listening.

    Episode 1: Atlanta

    This is Fear of Missing Out: young people living in the UK talking about the stuff we wish we learnt at school. 17 year old Atlanta spent the first few years of her life living in Uganda, where her mum is from. Now she lives in Glasgow, Atlanta feels like the version of British History she’s learnt paints the UK in a pretty positive light? Loads of her friends don’t even know about the British Empire - they didn’t learn about it in school. Atlanta asks: Is it possible to know the truth of what happened in the past, or is history different, depending on who’s telling the story? Atlanta speaks to Asif Z News, Dipo Faloyin, Maya Goodfellow, Chao Tayiana Maina and Rebecca Rwakabukoza. This documentary mentions some of the brutal violence that occurred during Colonialism. Take care listening.
