NHK asked people to film their lives during the pandemic. They include health care workers on the front lines, an Italian opera singer, a small-town official in France's hardest-hit area and a Manhattan bagel shop owner.

As the world faces its greatest crisis in generations, their stories overlap with ours, offering examples of human compassion, resilience and hope.
