Daisy Chain: Can a Cornish town adapt to survive another lockdown?

- When the remote town of St Just, Cornwall, was locked down in March, the small community worried that its economy wouldn't survive. But one town councillor, Daisy Gibbs, rallied an army of volunteers to form 'the Daisy chain', an informal support network to ensure every household in the district had support. Inspired by her imagination and resilience, filmmaker Sky Neal followed the Daisy Chain for seven months, as local businesses adapted and the community pulled together to realise a more sustainable future. However, as a second wave of restrictions threatens, the town has to dig deep to find the resilience they need to ensure their future. Can they re-invent their local economy to survive and thrive beyond Covid?

You are an inspiration to me in my community in the US. What a fabulous example for our world. When we can travel again, your area is tops in my places to visit!!
Despite her hardships Daisy is so upbeat & active, what a woman! How can we support Daisys chain?
You could make your own Daisy Chain in your Neighborhood / Community. 🌻
Help is needed everywhere and even the smallest effort can make a huge difference for the Vulnerable and Lonely. 💖
All the best
This could never happen in an America the greed displayed by Everyday People here has made me lose faith in humanity I would like to thank your community for restoring some of that faith the young lady who started this Daisy. Chain, you are amazing I need to know you grew up on your own makes you even more precious to me than you already are. Sending love from Atlanta
Please know that there are places in the south that are not greedy like Atlanta.
We stayed down in pendeen last week (booked in for March originally but lock down mk1..) the people were so friendly as always. I’ve never come across a community that care so much about their surroundings and their impact on their environment. Im really fearful for the winter months for these folks.
Big up daisy....
born in Helston now living in Heamoor near Penzance,worked for Western Greyhound buses I really can see how the community of St Just pulls together.
Awesome. Wish we had this here. Not only the community farming, but the amazing caring, friendly people.
Oh I want to live in a community like that’s one. Beautiful.
Oh Daisy, I love you with all of my heart. Please do make the Daisy chain official! WE NEED THIS IN THE WORLD!
what we experienced here in south Korea is called 'grass-rooted democracy'. what makes our community great is not from the top, but from the people next to me.honor to see what makes Greater England.
What an inspirational film, it restores your faith in humanity,
this should be on mainstream television, instead of the rubbish they are showing,
It will lift peoples spirits
Daisy! Yes!!!!
Amazing seeing where I live on you tube, it is really lovely down here, "living on the edge"
I am looking to buy some more st just property to add to my Cornish property portfolio.

Wow! im 6th to like the video.its so nice video.
St Just is the most westerly town in Great Britain, not the United Kingdom.
You're going to have to fight, or live on your knees for the rest of your lives!

The virus is highly transmissible, you can lock down but when you come out you're still going to mix with other people in other parts of the world who did not lock down. So about a month later you're going to see cases again. If everyone is in lock down who is going to work and produce goods to survive.
@@Someguy8047 I think that was the point of producing as much possible local. It will probably be one of the last places to experience extreme starvation.
Just look at John Depp and you people believe in justice and law
Yes...he’s finally had some justice served to him!
Why do you care about this random celebrity more than these people?
@@empressah888 define justice not google its actual definition
