Alfie is one of a series of films capturing the experiences of people during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was scripted collaboratively with Year 7 school children in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Alfie explores the impact of Covid-19 on a Year 6 child on the cusp of adolescence, approaching the end of primary school. Instead of experiencing the traditions and milestone celebrations enjoyed by students before him, Alfie is yanked out of school almost overnight as the country shuts down.
When he should be signing school shirts and bidding farewell to first friends, Alfie must come to terms with the immediate end to primary school and everything he knows, and instead adapt to life in lockdown.
