Show Notes
Sarah Wishart is the Creative Director at EachOther, a UK human-rights journalism charity, where she leads both the editorial and film teams. With a background in theatre/performance and communications in the education/media space, she focuses on storytelling that centers lived experience. In 2020 she launched Excluded, a youth-led feature documentary about school exclusion in the UK that elevates the voices of young people—many credited as co‑creators and consultants.
Host Tim Villegas talks with Sarah Wishart about Excluded, a young-people–led documentary exploring how exclusion works in UK schools and why inclusion and compassion matter. They cover the viral “ad hack” that mapped a school‑exclusion‑to‑prison pipeline on the London Underground, the realities of temporary and permanent exclusion (including PRUs), and how co‑creating—and paying—young contributors changed the film and the organization behind it.
