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

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

    India is a 21 year old student, content creator and activist from Bath. India is passionate about her activism, which focuses on anti-racism and intersectional feminism.

India interviews four activists involved in actions in the 1980s - the Greenham Common Peace Camp, The Miners Strike, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners and The Toxteth Uprising - to make her very own ‘How To’ Guide to Activism.

    India speaks to Anna Wates, Sue Say, Ian Mitchell, Mike Jackson, Jimi Jagne and Nim Ralph.
