Documenting our Government's cuts in disability funding and benefits.
The Tallest Order is a documentary that follows Bristol’s Listening Partnership - a forum group for young disabled people - as they enter into their last few months ahead of its forced closure by Bristol City Council. It provides an insight into the thoughts and feelings of its young members and how the closure will affect their lives.
Liz is an Bristol-based artist-activist who has experienced the tribunal system first hand.
Laura is manager of Bristol Disability Equality Forum. She informed us that the benefits she receives do not subsidise the cost of her disability, yet she is at risk of losing those funds and does not know how she will manage.
Mark is the co-chair of Bristol Disability Equality Forum. He has a personal message for Prime Minister David Cameron.
This audio documentary is based on the Work Capability Assessment issued by ATOS who are employed by the Department of Work and Pensions. We met with contributors who have been through the process and used this to create an atmospheric reenactment with techniques that show the mental state of many who have had to go through this.
