BREADTH

PRESENTED BY Sohaya Visions and Mukul & Ghetto Tigers
A multi-media, magic realist drama based on true experiences of the pandemic, prejudice, and the care of older people.

Join Ibn Khaldun, medieval mystic, polymath and jurist, on a journey from the Great Plague to the COVID-19 pandemic through the lives of older people and the racial minorities that care for them.
