Convergence: Courage in a Crisis

Orlando von Einsiedel after releasing this documentary in 2021: "I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it."

Say that not jokingly, because I feel like it's almost too soon to appreciate this as a time capsule, as things are only marginally less scary in 2021 than they are in 2020 (at least in my opinion. Some might feel it's worse).

Future generations, however, will probably find this fascinating as a time capsule that shows how people survived and endured during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even now, it feels like something of a time capsule, but for that, it's interesting.

When the whole world was cowering due to the fear of the pandemic and all that was visible was hopelessness, the makers of Netflix's Convergence still found a thread of hope which would show that everyone did find a reason to keep moving on! Kudos to the team which showed us the stark anguish around the world, but still found those real life reasons where hope was kept alive.

According to me, the most mind blowing a thought process was that in the midst of all the pain, illness and death, we had a child birth happening! If that is not the ultimate manifestation of hope, pray, what is???!!

My salute to the makers of Convergence who have actually shown the human spirit at it's most resilient!

Loved this documentary so much. Plays like a thriller/drama which it is. Even though i know what was going to happen i was still gripped. A must see. Excellent cast!

I could really care less about the accuracy of the scale of deaths depicted in this documentary. It was one really well put together documentary about a time and period in humanity that will go down in history as one of our worst moments. Watching this brought so many different emotions, from feeling captivated, to thrilling, engaging, sad, hopeful, angry. It was incredible. Thank you for making this.

A powerful and beautiful account of the world in 2020. Some amazing people putting their lives on the line to help others, no matter where in the world you are there will be a story here that hits home. It's a story of humanity coping in crisis, not just a covid story. Well worth a watch but get your tissues ready.
