When Covid-19 hit New York City in 2020, filmmaker Matthew Heineman gained unique access to one of New York’s hardest-hit hospital systems. The resulting film focuses on the doctors, nurses, and patients on the frontlines during the “first wave” from March to June 2020. Their distinct storylines each serve as a microcosm to understand how the city persevered through the worst pandemic in a century

this documentary is hyper subjective as it only shows what happens in one hospital and document only three specific cases... to make an objective documentary you have to have multiple point of data and multiple cases... we are talking about 0.0000001% of the worldwide population in this documentary... it's sad to see that we just saw 2 people come out of it alive in the whole documentary... we cannot count that has the real reality of every where in the world. We should have seen more miracles and not only the depressive side of it. Thanks to all the essentials services workers. YOU ARE AMAZING!
