    A diverse group of fifteen people pose in a bright conference room. Two individuals in the front hold certificates, standing proudly. The backdrop features a screen with a presentation slide, and a digital clock above displays the time as 15:02. The group appears cheerful and engaged, with a mix of casual and formal attire.
    A group of people is gathered in an office setting, engaged in discussion. The individuals are of diverse backgrounds, some wearing business attire, others in casual clothing.

    A holiday. A few drinks. What seemed like a hangover. The families and friends in this film know how quickly methanol poisoning can change everything. Watch their stories. Know the signs. Act fast.

    Late-night scrolling. Endless autoplay. Algorithms designed to keep you hooked. We're changing that for 16 and 17-year-olds. New protections will mean overnight social media curfews and addictive features will be switched off by default, helping young people get better sleep,
