About the Project

The American Virus explores the systemic inequities and cultural inequalities at the heart of American society, as experienced by five groups of New Yorkers. These individuals are not only working to assist the victims of New York’s failed healthcare, economic, and racial and social systems during the coronavirus pandemic, but are also working to reimagine and rebuild a better world.

Through our subjects' eyes, we see that in addition to COVID-19, New Yorkers are facing another sickness -

the American virus of apathy, oppression and social degradation.
