I remember coming across this on YouTube back in 2022 (I think) and thinking that it would be negative again Britain because of its name. I was pleasantly surprised when I watched it and saw that it was anything but the sort. It showed footage of the BLM protests taking place across England during 2020 and the violence that some of that committed. The footage of climate activists was also telling of the things that we remember from them, like people trying to rip down statues and going after famous people in history for alleged wrongs. I really liked the footage of the anti-vaxxers marching against the COVID-19 vaccine and standing up for their rights - that still means something. Most of all, I enjoyed the part with those involved talking about BLM and injustices they had experienced and how they hope things will change for the better moving forwards.in general, it can be easy to misunderstand what this was about because of the title, but it's wasn't that bad and actually leaned more pro-British rights to protest, protect your rights, and standing up for history than anything else.

Britain Injustice really nailed this topic nicely. I don't think anyone will forget the summer of 2020 or the protests, and boy weren't there a lot of them. I still remember the BLM stuff going on in England because of something happening across the sea in America. This just my opinion, but I still remember the climate protests, the eco marches, the attacks on British culture, people trying to remove the statues and moaning about certain historical figures. This short does a good job in showing that aswell a clip of what happened in America and the ridiculous defund the police movement that developed. The people who spoke were good too, talking about their experiences with what they perceived as injustices and how they like to see things change and improve. While I still think things got out of hand in some cases, protests are there for a reason and us a right for when we believe government and authority figures are wrong, and for that, I stand by people's rights no matter what and that is why I liked this short, because it did well in showcasing contrasting movements like the anti-vax,/pro-vax movements, climate change stance, and equal fights for justice. That stuff still means something and I just wish people would appreciate that even when it's from opposing sides. This was good and the people involved should be proud of themselves, and the producers should be proud. We need more stuff like this, both on the smaller scale and big time productions. Social justice is something to still fight for!
