This is Fear of Missing Out: young people living in the UK talking about the stuff we wish we learnt at school.

17 year old Atlanta spent the first few years of her life living in Uganda, where her mum is from. Now she lives in Glasgow, Atlanta feels like the version of British History she’s learnt paints the UK in a pretty positive light? Loads of her friends don’t even know about the British Empire - they didn’t learn about it in school. Atlanta asks: Is it possible to know the truth of what happened in the past, or is history different, depending on who’s telling the story?

Atlanta speaks to Asif Z News, Dipo Faloyin, Maya Goodfellow, Chao Tayiana Maina and Rebecca Rwakabukoza. 

This documentary mentions some of the brutal violence that occurred during Colonialism. Take care listening.
