Road's End Chronicle
The shore of a lake. A dam. Myriad testimonials that go right over our heads, just like everything else. Camped out in his car, a filmmaker stares out at the landscape through the raindrops coating the windows. Encounters emerge one by one. Voices multiply, at times validating each other, later contradictory. The filmmaker moves from worry to optimism. Only one question remains: Is there a right answer?

Short documentary that’s part of The Curve, a series about life during the pandemic. Filmmaker Nicolas Paquet interviews people about the pandemic, and the views range widely. As one interviewee states, the difficulties of social isolation “can lead to rhetoric not based on scientific fact” because many average people “cannot understand [the pandemic’s] complexities.” Great entry point into discussions about COVID-19 and various responses nationally and internationally. How has Quebec responded to surges in the coronavirus? How has your province responded to these spikes? How is your family responding to health guidelines from your Minister of Health?
