The Four Per Cent

"Throw it all at me. Take everything you can. Even in the end I will not be defeated." How much would you give up to never return to your darkest moment? Your livelihood? Your house? Your business? Your friends? Your self-worth? Melbourne's record-breaking 262-day-lockdown should have been a collective experience shared by residents of the city. However, Government directives in those final months forced friends and families against one another in a debate over who was worthy of freedom. Four per cent of that population have a story to tell - one that has never been heard. This is the story of Melbourne's lockdown, told from the inside by someone left on the outside.
