NEWPORT: IN THIS TOGETHER

NEWPORT: IN THIS TOGETHER highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Newport, Rhode Island – a city whose economy mostly runs off of tourism – and the importance of community in times of hardship. Filmed during 2020-2021 at the height of the pandemic, NEWPORT: IN THIS TOGETHER explores how class, race, and even age became intertwined in the face of a crisis.
