The Shadow Pandemic

The Shadow Pandemic - When a business closes, it’s not just doors that shut, it’s futures

This gripping and emotional documentary peels back the curtain on the human cost of COVID-19’s economic devastation.

Following two Ugandan brothers who are forced to close their family-run startup, the film becomes more than a story of financial loss—it’s an intimate exploration of broken dreams, strained relationships, and the fragile balance of mental health in times of crisis. Through moments of fear, resilience, and adaptation, the brothers’ journey reflects a broader truth: when small businesses fall, entire communities feel the aftershocks.
