A new documentary is taking a deeper look at the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact lockdowns had on Canadian society, and the resulting fallout from public health restrictions.

“COVID Collateral,” which will debut at a Toronto Theatre in May, looks at the response of both the government and society to the virus.

“As I was living through COVID, especially in early 2020, I said to myself something doesn’t make sense here,” Toronto producer, writer, and director Vanessa Dylyn told The Epoch Times in an interview.

“I saw a lot of suffering and, like many people, I witnessed restrictions on people that made no sense to me, such as small business owners being driven bankrupt while the big box stores stayed open.”

Ms. Dylyn said she also questioned why liquor stores remained open but places like churches, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and gyms were forced to close.
