From dark movie theaters and quiet living rooms, audiences have experienced the trials, conditions and complications of contagion as catastrophe. Within the mode of documentary, the crisis of pandemic is grounded in the realism of tragedy while fiction film allows access to our deepest fears with the social distance of the cinema screen.
