ABOUT THE BOOK

In this book, the grand panorama that is the UP’s history is so similar to the stitched videos that emerged during the COVID-19 lockdown. Digital technologies magically brought everyone together in a video where you could see each one performing, physically distanced yet united in a love of UP and love of country. So many “little” stories coming together to create a grand narrative, moving us, bringing us together in remembering to remember.
