Global Panic | Documentary
Amid the 2020 COVID pandemic, the world seemed as though it might be coming to an end. Panic struck the world’s citizens, stores were cleaned out, and neighbors were shunned as virus carriers. Amid this chaos, courage and compassion were born within our world’s communities. Individuals set their own needs aside to help others: a pilot who was too young to drive but who flew supplies to rural areas; two Chinese journalists of integrity on the run from China’s communist regime after exposing the truth in the virus epicenter of Wuhan; a small town that came together to rebuild what was lost after a tornado took everything they had; a doctor who volunteered as a first responder while the Diamond Princess cruise ship quarantined off the coast of Japan; a nurse dealing with the chaos and isolation of a COVID unit within the hospital’s walls; a U.S. Navy hospital ship relieving overwhelmed New York hospitals from the city’s port; and a United States President with the weight of the world on his shoulders. These and many other inspiring stories in this film give us hope for tomorrow. When disaster brings out the worst in our world, it brings out the best in our communities.
