A story of hope and resilience, Pandemicland is a beautiful and inspiring glimpse into the lives of the generation that will shape the post-COVID world.

Airing across two weeks on August 3 and August 10, the documentary gets intimate and personal access into the lives of four diverse young Australians navigating a different world to the one they expected.

There’s Ciang, a 21-year-old aspiring comedian in Melbourne who dreams of signing a deal with Netflix but is stuck practising stand-up in his bedroom. Eighteen-year-old Cooper, an up-and-coming rugby star from a coastal NSW town, is grappling with ideas of masculinity after losing two friends to suicide.

Sydney-based dancer Samantha, 16, whose goal to attend a prestigious European ballet school could be threatened by injury and border closures. And, in regional Victoria, 14-year-old Mercedes weighs up the gut-wrenching decision to give up her dream to become a professional boxer so she can get a job to support her single mother.

“Living through your teens and early 20s is scary at the best of times but it’s even harder during lockdowns, border closures and forced isolation,

“We filmed over the course of 10 months, and I think Pandemicland is a testament to the strength and resilience of a generation that will shape the post-COVID world”.

The multi Walkley Award-winning program The Feed continues to break new ground with its compelling mix of current affairs and comedy, interviews, and investigations.

The Feed: Pandemicland airs Tuesday August 3 and August 10 at 10pm
