THE NORTH REMEMBERS - A TIER 3 DOCUMENTARY

October 2020

Filmed between the 14th - 27th October 2020 in the Liverpool City Region during UK government's "Tier 3" Restrictions amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

This documentary shows the struggles that the hospitality industry and self-employed people are facing, and it highlights the glaring difference in government support available to self-employed people compared to people covered by the Job Support Scheme.

The government's position on getting people in the arts to retrain is insulting and we feel we deserve equitable support in line with the 67% of weekly wages that people on Pay As You Earn will recieve, instead of 40% every three months.

The government are leaving self-employed people behind and choking the life out of the hospitality industry. The regulations are confusing, and constantly changing, and people are being forced in to poverty. Allowing pubs to remain open as long as they serve a "substantial meal" is a strange and contradictory rule.

This film argues for full support for everyone in the UK. Full and equal support.
