During the Coronavirus pandemic Dr Paul Trotman was put off work because he is immune compromised. In March 2020 frustrated and looking for some way to contribute, he started documenting the experiences of his colleagues around the world. He has since completed almost 150 interviews. Paul was the only person to be interviewing healthcare workers so early in the piece - when events are new and raw and emotions were high. Because they were talking to a colleague who knew their language, Paul’s subjects were incredibly open about their harrowing experiences and this remarkable film is the result. It's a powerful argument for our healthcare workers, Covid restrictions, mask wearing and vaccination.
