Family Strong (2020)

"Family Strong" is a short documentary series that tells the stories of five diverse families from across the U.S. as they navigate an increasingly uncertain world. The five families documenting their experiences during the pandemic represent a diverse swath of American society. Each family faces its own challenges and copes with them in their own way. A health crisis, a job loss, an interrupted college life, a move to a new community, the stress of sending kids to school in a Covid-19 hotspot - these are just a few examples of the struggles the protagonists confront, as they try to keep their families strong in the face of adversity. As the family unit becomes a last line of defense in these difficult times, the docuseries provides an unvarnished look into the challenges facing American families and their efforts at keeping their families strong. The series is entirely constructed from self-shot footage as each family turns the camera on themselves and invites viewers into their lives.
