Providing dignity in death: A day in the life of a Covid volunteer
Earlier this year, as the death toll due to Covid climbed in India, so did distress and panic.
But as families abandoned the deceased within their homes or outside crematoriums, frightened to participate in their last rites, one man in Delhi provided dignity in death.
This film is a chronological account of a day in the life of this 60-year-old who tried to help families in times of tragedy. It’s the story of his courage as he provided support, respect and dignity to those who died and to those left behind.
