For the past year, Alexia Norton Jones has been in anguish, constantly reliving an experience that she deeply regrets.
On Dec. 30, 2019, Jones flew to Los Angeles from her home in Arizona, to talk to the directors of the documentary “On the Record” about the night in 1990 when she says music mogul Russell Simmons raped her. Jones was a last-minute addition to the film, which features accounts from several women who claim they had been sexually assaulted or attacked by Simmons. “On the Record” premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in late January 2020, only three weeks after its directors Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick spoke to Jones for roughly two hours, pushing her to recount details of the alleged assault, she says, without caring about her as a person.

Spending more time inside does not have to be repetitive or mundane, even if it is just a simple activity like watching television. The coronavirus pandemic shifted some of Hollywood’s production schedules and release dates. However, many movies, television series, and documentaries debuted in 2020, and most were available to stream on-demand.
With all of the exciting programming and a growing number of streaming platforms and methods of digital streaming, and a decline of in-theater releases, or simply spending less screen-time on social media, it can be easy to miss a must-watch.
