A beautiful matinee at The Cinematheque on January 24, our premiere brought together audiences and participants from the film for a truly special gathering. Following the screening, director Ying introduced the book When the World Closed Its Doors: The Covid-19 Tragedy and the Future of Borders, joined by authors Laurie Trautman and Edward Alden, who travelled from Bellingham for the event. Their work offers a powerful reflection on the unprecedented border closures during the pandemic and their lasting impact on global mobility.
