Bring this healing story to your community
Why?
The church has had to confront massive compliance and safeguarding processes in recent years and adopt zero tolerance for abuse of children. Have you broadened your remit to address harassment, bullying and workplace injuries? We hope you will consider sharing Shattered with your church teams to foster empathy, raise awareness, and deepen understanding of the importance of supporting congregation members injured at work.P

In Your Location
Shattered is a documentary series exposing how a system once created to protect injured workers has been reshaped by policy, profit logic, and now automation — turning recovery into conflict and care into a calculation.
It follows the people caught inside it: workers, families, doctors, employers, whistleblowers — and the growing number of lives derailed not by the injury itself, but by the system meant to respond to it.
Behind the scenes, governments and insurers quietly shifted decision-making from human assessment to computer-driven triage — using algorithms to decide whose pain is believed, whose treatment is delayed, and whose life is written off as “too expensive.”
The result is a national crisis hidden in plain sight:
a system that harms the people it was built to heal — and a public who won’t know until it happens to them.
This is not a story about broken people.
It is a story about a system that was redesigned — and the human cost of pretending it still works.
You don’t need to be injured to be affected.
One accident. One diagnosis. One workplace incident.
And any one of us could end up in a system built to deny care. It could be your family.
Why this film matters to the public
Most people assume workers’ compensation is “there if you need it.”
But what happens when the system that promises protection becomes the reason people don’t recover?
This isn’t just about workers.
It’s about families, carers, colleagues, small businesses, local economies, mental health, and what we are willing to tolerate as a society.
The system doesn’t just fail individuals.
It reshapes communities — through poverty, suicide, homelessness, trauma, and lost futures.
What the film reveals
The hidden emotional, financial and social fallout of workplace injury
Why good people lose homes, families, and mental health while fighting for care
How the state turns human suffering into cost spreadsheets
Why silence keeps systems harmful — and outrage forces reform
Why the public should watch
Because this is not a niche issue — it is a universal risk
Because every family deserves to know the truth before they need the system
Because compassionate societies don’t abandon the injured
Because the question is not “who got hurt?” but “who are we becoming?”
A Call To Action
The greatest threat we face is not cruelty — it is indifference.
Watch the film with your family, friends, or community group
Share it with people who still believe “the system works”
Use it to start conversations about dignity, fairness, and social responsibility
Help build the public pressure history shows is always required for reform
This is how we stop the next Robodebt.
