Award-winning UK film maker Phoebe Holman is currently working on The Covid-19 Diaries, a ground-breaking new documentary that calls on people of the world to record their unique experiences throughout the pandemic. It will capture on a global scale the wide range of human stories and situations that people are experiencing during this unprecedented time.
The worldwide outbreak of Covid-19 has led to extremely frightening and uncertain times. A third of the world's population is on lockdown, people are dying at a devastating rate, the elderly and vulnerable are living in complete isolation and livelihoods are being lost on a daily basis.
However, from this global pandemic there have also been beautiful stories; a significant reduction in air pollution, communities uniting to support those in need, heroic key workers fighting to save lives, friends and strangers coming together through human spirit and a little help from technology. Many people are also seizing the opportunity to reassess their values and reflect on how they live their lives.
The Covid-19 Diaries will capture the life-changing individual human experiences of this pandemic. As a global collaboration it encourages people to film themselves telling their unique and uncensored stories. Anyone can participate, all they need is a device on which to record. These are real stories told in people's own words and each one will become part of a wider feature documentary which aims to inspire connectivity in a disconnected time.
