LONG DISTANCE - A Filipino couple in Calgary, Alberta perseveres through a long-distance relationship redolent of the many years they spent apart in the past. Before, international borders separated them. Now, a virus. While Roderick, a Cargill meat plant worker, recovers in the hospital from a COVID-induced stroke, his wife, Norie, summons the strength to support her family. Set against the backdrop of COVID-19 outbreaks among migrant workers across Canada. (28 min, Canada, 2021, Director: Kiana Rawji)

The film portrays an old trade unionist in Guatemala, delving into shameful working conditions and the devastating consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. (30 min, Guatemala, 2020, Director: Uli Stelzner)
