Director's Statement
“After working in news, covering tragic stories from the protests and the pandemic, I felt it was my responsibility, and it became my passion, to send out a message of hope through stories of people, paying it forward, volunteering, giving back to their communities. And the documentary format was the best way to show how people pivoted in a positive way through the pandemic.” Tom DiDonato
