Ripple Effect - The First Wave (2020)
1st World-centric
Under the circumstances this documentary was created from a very northern perspective. I'm a middle class South African so I could relate to a lot of what I watched, because I could afford to prepare for the lockdown - luxuries, etc. South Africans of all classes have been submitted to the world's most stringent, at most times draconian, lockdown, semi-renewed again today (13 May '20). My major gripe is that this documentary failed to venture to where it is really going to become "real" - Africa. I hope the creators will venture a second episode, just as fast, using the talented local filmographic community of Africa to find out what is going on / going to happen in Africa. There is an imminent danger of overreaching by governments, in the face of Africans who want to simply help their fellow Africans/humans. Please make the effort (understated) to hear from Africa too.
