THROUGH THE PANE is an uplifting, human-interest online video series showing how we can find light and hope even in the darkest of times. This series will also help document an important time in our history.

The unique project features filmed conversations through the home windows of our frontline workers as they arrive back from their shifts. This provides a safe space for the production team and the interviewee to comply with social distancing guidelines as well as visually highlighting the pandemic with the separation of the window and thus giving us the title Through the Pane.

An interview will be released every Tuesday and Thursday online. To celebrate the launch of the project, two interviews will premiere today on YouTube at 8am featuring GP Dr. Ahmed Ajine and An Post worker Rob Kearns.

Dr. Ahmed Ajine is a Dublin GP with his own private practice. He speaks to Through the Pane about how his work has been impacted by the Covid-19 crisis and shares his thoughts about how we can get through this difficult time.
