Summaries

We've lost a million people with two things in common: They were Americans, and the Coronavirus ended their lives. For these short documentaries, the filmmaker Ben Proudfoot asked five people to tell the story of individuals they lost to the pandemic - not to dwell on their deaths but to celebrate how they lived. Together they form a portrait of America. A dance-crazy nurse who returned from retirement to fight the virus is remembered by her twin sister. The story of a postmaster who laid the bricks of the building he managed is told by his daughter. A grandfather is eulogized by the Olympian granddaughter he helped raise after a tragic loss. Here are their lives: complicated, imperfect, extraordinary.
