Give ATOS

For a long time I've wanted to do something to help the people affected by ATOS & the Work Capability Assessment. This film is about the Edinburgh demonstration against ATOS on Feb 19th 2014. These are the stories and experiences of the people affected by ATOS.

It isn't my typical type of film. In terms of length, it's double what I would have liked to aim for but I feel that what these people have to say shouldn't be cut down any further. The title I borrowed from (what I thought was) a clever pun I saw on a protest Facebook page a while back and which I feel sums up the sentiment needed entirely.

With Thanks To:

Lorna Winn, Alexander Borthwick, Karen Sutherland, Neill Walworth, Sara Quoiani, Susan Archibald, Mike Cormack, Hazel Quinn, & John McArdle. And of course everyone else who showed up on the day to protest and those who couldn't make it but wished they could be there.
