Why Is Covid Killing People Of Colour?(2021)

Why Is Covid Killing People Of Colour? is a documentary that investigates the disproportionate death rates from COVID-19 among Black and minority ethnic patients in Britain. Actor and presenter David Harewood examines the systemic health inequalities that have left these communities more vulnerable to severe illness and death during the pandemic. Through interviews and analysis, the film explores the underlying factors—from access to healthcare and economic disparities to historical mistrust of medical institutions—that have contributed to these stark racial disparities. Harewood's investigation reveals how longstanding structural inequalities in the British health system have been exposed and exacerbated by the crisis, raising urgent questions about equity and care in modern medicine.
