Elegy For Those We Lost. A memorial. 51 lives lost to covid. 51 lives remembered.

Elegy for those we lost is a memorial video honoring 51 individuals lost to covid; each with a life abruptly ended, plans and dreams left unfulfilled, and a family left behind. A grandparent, a mother, a father, a sibling or a child left grieving, often alone. These family members shared their stories of loss, love and pain with us; Elegy is also about them.  The country recently exceeded 400,000 covid deaths. The magnitude of the loss and tragedy in the US is impossible to comprehend.  And so we take a moment to look at 51 individuals lost to covid, acknowledge and celebrate their life, and remember them.

PETIT RAT | Directed by Vera Wagman | DOCUMENTARY

1940: A Jewish girl's dream of becoming a ballerina is destroyed by the Nazi invasion of Paris. She vows that if she has daughters, they will become dancers. Nearly 80 years later, she and her two daughters confront the wounding impact of that pledge as they dance together for the very first time—towards reconciliation, forgiveness and healing. Petit Rat is about the intergenerational trauma of war, sibling rivalry and how familial love can heal the wounds that bind.
