Heartbeat of the Nation

Twenty four filmmakers from across Canada donated their time and talent to create a ‘love letter’ to healthcare workers.

Every shoot was conducted within the local government guidelines, each person shooting solo, keeping social distance, and only filming people they were isolated with.
