Synopsis

A young man with autism steps onto the Tube and immediately feels anxious. Somebody tries to start a conversation with him and he doesn’t know how best to reply. It’s crowded with passengers and filled with a variety of loud noises, from babies crying to people talking, and then there’s a dreaded delay. Can he find a solution to the stress he’s feeling? 'Overload' won Best Animation at the 2020 Into Film Awards.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
