2020 - the (short) movie

30th December 2020

I don’t think any of us will be sorry to see the back of 2020. What a terrible, world-changing year – and I write this as somebody who has been relatively protected, while so many people’s lives have been utterly devastated by the health and economic consequences of the pandemic. None of us will forget 2020.

So, with a long holiday break and nowhere to go, as a man with too much time on my hands and a tenuous grasp of video editing, I’ve put together a short ode to 2020, and to all the things we’ve missed this year. With the vaccination programme ramping up, I can’t wait to get back what we lost, hopefully in ’21.

Orli (my 15 year old daughter) narrates, and makes the words her own.
