VIRAL DREAMS
Seven young YouTubers from around the world document their lives during the Corona Pandemic: the story of a generation that was born into social media, and now has to grow up in a viral world.

Composed entirely of videos uploaded to social media in 2020, VIRAL DREAMS tells the story of a new generation, coming to age in a global pandemic. Seven YouTubers in their early 20’s all have big plans for 2020, but as the year unfolds the world around them starts to change dramatically: news of a novel virus emerges, Black Lives Matter Protests take to the streets, the US elects a new president, and an economic crisis is looming on the horizon. As the YouTubers try to find their way in this increasingly unforeseeable future, they turn to Social Media to communicate and express themselves, while documenting everything from long distance relationships, to job loss and financial hardships, to surprising political awakenings.
