Director Kevin Macdonald's follow-up to Life in a Day (2011) documentary, captures the ordeal of 2020 in a time-capsule collage from all over the world. One long decade after the first film, 324,000 videos of diverse topics, filmed by enthusiastic volunteers from 192 countries, were edited down to a seamless slice of life, recorded on the same day, July 25, 2020. The result is a documentary offering a cornucopia of high-definition video footage, peppered with daily rituals, comments on racism, destitution, climate crisis, inequality, and a poetic synthesis of emotions and intimate moments as seen from different perspectives.—Nick Riganas
