About the Film
Alone Together is a 40-minute documentary capturing voices from 11 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through intimate self-filmed stories—from mothers turned “supermoms” and international students in limbo, to essential workers and healers—the film explores isolation, resilience, and the universal longing for connection. Beyond documenting lockdown, it reflects on mental health, generational loss, and acts of care that kept communities alive, offering a powerful historical record of a world both separated and bound together.
