In this episode, we continue weaving the world during a global pandemic with more “COVID-19 Diaries” from citizen reporters. What are they seeing and experiencing, how are their communities affected, and what are some of the larger issues at play? This episode features reports from Italy, Costa Rica, and Myanmar as well as reflections from two filmmakers who returned to the US from Mexico in the midst of the pandemic.
Interweaving #13 - COVID-19 Diaries (March 31, 2020)
In this episode, we hear from Avana Mohandesi in India, Amanda Barreto Salgueiro in Brazil, Emilia Mattila in Finland, and Khin Maung in Myanmar. What we learn from them is that the COVID-19 story is inevitably entangled with other ongoing stories about state power, worker safety, mental health, uneven access to information and health care, and the courageous efforts of ordinary people to build grassroots responses grounded in social solidarity.
