What do people do when nothing works anymore? What do we do with our fears, uncertainties, boredom and the dissatisfaction during lockdown? The “Corona Diaries” by filmmaker Elke Sasse are a global video diary about life with the pandemic. People from different countries document their lives with their cell phone camera: The nurse at the corona ICU in Spain, the virus researcher in France, the lecturer in China, the construction worker in India, the bicycle courier from New York and many others.

“Corona Diaries” is a touching piece of contemporary history that connects us to people around the world in these difficult times – in our fears of becoming infected, losing our jobs and our existence. But at the same time, we experience a new way of working together, with solidarity and ingenuity.

38 dead on the beach in Sousse, Tunisia. A terror attack aboard a Russian holiday flight in Egypt, many victims of the attacks in Istanbul: terrorists are targeting tourists.

It is all part of a treacherous strategy with multiple goals – the death of citizens of the detested States of the West, who governments they have declared their enemy. The weakening of the economies of the holiday destinations Egypt, Tunisia and Turkey against whose governments they are fighting, and whose populations are more easily radicalised in times of instability.

In Turkey every 12th job is directly or indirectly linked to tourism, in Tunisia it is every 7th, in Egypt every 8th.
