How to Survive a Pandemic

Hoe was het mogelijk dat er zo snel vaccins werden ontwikkeld tegen het coronavirus? Regisseur David France duikt diep in het verhaal achter deze bovenmenselijke prestatie, in een diepgravende documentaire die voelt als een race tegen de klok – en soms ook tegen de politiek.

TALK One thing the pandemic (and this documentary) made painfully clear is that when it comes to health, we are not all equal yet. Information did not always reach the most vulnerable. Infection rates were higher among African American communities – who often did not have the privilege of working from home or opportunities for isolation. And when vaccines were developed, Western countries claimed most of them. What was this like in Dutch policies? Time for an evaluation: what did Corona teach us about health inequality in the Netherlands? Alma Tostmann, epidemiologist at Radboudumc, will delve into these questions after the screening.
