Atom followed the lives of children who put their lives at stake to help their families survive even if they were exposed to the Covid-19 virus. Meanwhile in Pasay, Atom also met Joshua, the breadwinner of his family at the age of 12. Joshua became part of the “lockdown generation” as he found himself “stranded” in Metro Manila while his ailing father was left behind in Cavite. In Manila, he rode his bike to sell snacks to his neighbors so that he could bring home earnings to his family.
