Community threads: mask-making in the coronavirus pandemic
Filmmaker Rhonda Klevansky documents the efforts of seven women across the United States who began sewing cloth masks to distribute in their communities in spring 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic exploded. As medical and scientific advisors stressed the importance of masks, these women got to work while sheltering at home. They narrate their work and talk about their reasons for undertaking the project in this short documentary video.
