Pandemic Generation. Inspired by real events, a 10-episode television series tells intimate stories of the big and small battles with the COVID-19 pandemic in Kyrgyzstan. The dramatic production reflects the personal experiences and turmoil of a disruptive, deadly year.
By depicting the personal growth of a diverse cast, the filmmakers provide relatable examples of perseverance and hope. “This social drama invites the viewer to experience a transformation and feel the spectrum of emotions of children,” says project manager Zhanna Shegai.
FilmAid and Internews are supporting the creation of this series as part of a USAID-funded project to strengthen local health systems and counter widespread information. The episodes will air in summer of 2021.
