Laid Off, New Beginning

Lemonade is a yet to be released movie about the experiences of people who lost their jobs.

Here’s the synopsis:

More than 130,000 advertising professionals have lost their jobs in this “Great Recession.” Lemonade is about what happens when people who were once paid to be creative in advertising are forced to be creative with their own lives.

A brainchild of Please Feed the Animals, a blog dedicated to the recently unemployed, the movie trailer is inspiring.  Some of the quotes – “The day I walked out, I walked into my own company” . “I got laid off and I finally did something that matters’.

In Australia, 669,000 are without a job, many retrenched from work. The old adage goes – "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade”. Here’s hoping thousands of new voices will emerge.
