When I was asked to contribute my spoken word to an opera recital in 2021, I did not hesitate. Samantha Burke (opera singer) recounts what it meant to be essential in 2020. Inspired by Maslow's hierarchy of needs, this recital-documentary is intended as a social commentary of the effects of Covid-19 and of the racial injustice that we face in the United States.
