In the two-and-a-half years since the COVID-19 pandemic began, over 6 million people across the globe have lost their lives to the deadly disease, and millions more still live with the long-term effects after contracting it. Fortunately, vaccine and booster rollouts have resulted in fewer deaths and milder cases, though the threat of COVID-19 remains.

To continue building confidence in vaccines, Out of Hand Theater created a project, “The Time has Chosen Us.” One of the films addressing vaccine hesitancy is “Comfort” by Amina S. McIntyre, who joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk more about her film.
