    #6 - The Covid Queue at Pavilion 6

    S29:E6

    A humorous and humane snapshot of life in a Covid-19 vaccine centre. Five years after the world first locked down to limit the spread of the virus, this film serves as collective therapy for the post-Covid era. The documentary was filmed in Croatia, where at the time, the government was still chasing down supplies of hard-to-get-hold-of vaccines. The queues of people waiting for them stretch endlessly along streets, with a tapestry of personalities amongst them - from the stern ‘gatekeeper’ of the line to elderly women deliberating their vaccine preferences. This is a reminder of a unique moment in time - one shared by people across the globe.
