The Conversation That Changed Everything
Three glasses of wine into a beachside conversation with Francis Ford Coppola in late 2019, the topic turned to something curious: twenty-seven people sick in Wuhan, China. Seven were in serious condition. Chinese authorities were being vague, as usual. The waves lapped gently at the Belize shore, and the whole thing felt distant, almost abstract-like discussing a plot for a thriller that would never get made. Neither of us could have imagined that within months, this invisible enemy would kill millions, empty city streets worldwide, and transform every aspect of human life. That evening represents the last moment of collective innocence before the world fractured into before and after. What unfolded wasn't just a health crisis-it was a stress test of everything we'd built: our institutions, our science, our capacity for truth-telling, and our willingness to protect one another.
