One of the first major films to be made about COVID-19 since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic more than a year ago, “Songbird”, is on the circuit in South African cinemas.
The movie, directed and written by Adam Mason and with KJ Apa and Sofia Carson in the leads, is set three years into the future where attempts at a vaccine against COVID-23 have failed, the virus has mutated, and comes back stronger and deadlier.
“Songbird” tells the story of how the infected are ripped from their homes and forced into quarantine camps where they are never discharged from.
This is the backdrop of a thriller and love story about how an immune courier of goods to the affluent has to race against time to save the woman he loves from a quarantine camp and find her an immunity bracelet to flee Los Angeles.
This is as the world continues to battle against the coronavirus.
In South Africa, the number of coronavirus cases has increased to 1 532 497 with 51 634 related deaths.
