There's one actress who totally carries the film.
She's brilliant, magical and funny as hell. 💘
Lydia Leonard is the real strength of this cast, giving Sarah a particularly strong dramatic power as she progresses through this very endearing intimate crisis.

For those who don't know, there's going to be a demonstration for Long Covid on March 15, which is Long Covid Awareness Day since 2023. You can find the LCDC website here.
Their stated goals:
1. Declare Long Covid a National Emergency.
2. Implement Emergency Use Authorization for drug repurposing and trials.
3. Establish annual funding for Long Covid programs and research to find a cure.
4. Ensure racial and gender health equity in research, access to clinical trials, antiviral drug repurposing, preventative measures, educational campaigns, and social services.
5. Enact Clean Indoor Air Laws to prevent SARS-CoV-2 forward transmission in public spaces and forced-congregant settings.
6. Implement respirator use and clean air protections in healthcare facilities. Additionally, devise strategies to ensure immunocompromised patients or those with Long Covid are given reasonable accommodations and are not penalized. Enforce protected class status for people with Long Covid as disabled.
7. Fast-track compassionate allowance and sufficient social support for people with Long Covid in addition to increased funding for Home and Community Based Services.
8. Develop guidelines for physicians on Long Covid and continuing education on breaking research.
9. Acknowledge that Long Covid affects children and implement specialized care immediately.
10. Public tracking of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater at Publicly Owned Treatment Works and provide affordable PCR testing nationwide.
11. Establish regular White House press communication regarding progress toward stated goals and real time data for Covid transmission awareness.
There's a gofundme here to raise funds for a stage, sound equipment, respirators, and multimedia equipment in order to stream the event to those who can't physically attend. If you can spare a few bucks I encourage you to donate. Any leftover funds will go to Long Covid research.
If you have Long Covid or know someone who does, LCDC is also looking for stories/personal accounts for their media projects.
