Occupy Central has been painted as a movement of the young, with student leaders as young as 17 spearheading the protests and secondary students organising their own strikes to express their discontent with the current state of affairs. Anti-Occupiers, on the other hand, have largely been depicted as middle-aged to elderly disgruntled folk set in their ways (or simply, paid to be anti-Occupy by thugs).

But young, anti-Occupiers exist, and their voices have been all but ignored in the media. Coconuts TV set out to talk to some of those people.
