Six Hopeful Sci-Fi Stories of a Post Covid-19 World
There&#x27;s this really brutal and obscure documentary I watch about the Congo War in the late 90s whenever I need to appreciate life.  It&#x27;s called &quot;Kisangani Diary.&quot; It&#x27;s far more terrifying than any horror movie because it&#x27;s real.<p>It&#x27;s a documentary about a relief mission that goes out into the Congo using disused railway tracks in order to feed 10s of thousands of Hutu refugees wandering around in the forest fleeing reprisals for the earlier genocide in Rawanda.  They are starving to death and being chased by militia who are shooting at them from time to time from the forest.  Absolutely no one except for the people in this relief mission cares about what happens to them.<p>The movie begins with the narrator saying that almost everyone you see in this film will be dead by the end of the movie.  When I rewatched it lately, I wondered about those lines and what the future holds for us.  What kind of documentary are we in? What if ending shelter in place fails.  What if a deadlier strain shows up?  What if this is the early days of WW III?  All things to contemplate in my opinion, because I&#x27;ve been watching this since January and every week I expected things to get better and they&#x27;ve just been getting worse.
