Plot summary

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

Innovative

Innovative and interesting. This film is prescient for all sorts of reasons, and well worth checking out. I would recommend this for anyone looking for something a little unusual.

Why Add the Racial Component?

I watched this trying to understand better the facts of Covid and it unfolding since I only really heard stories from the news. This did an okayish job showing that as it mostly pertains to 3-6 patients examined in the whole film. Oddly they threw in a racial component to the film that seems unrelated and disjointed (they do mention that apparently covid affected minorities more than white people but that's unrelated to the BLM stuff they have later in the film).

Overall I had more empathy for nurses and what they went through so I'd say that's probably the message overall that resonated with me.

Opinions Are Like A-holes

I am sure everyone will have their own opinion when it comes to this Doc. I am going to try hard and not insert my 2 cents in. As far as a Doc it was slow in parts, be ready with your tissues because if death saddens you this will make you cry. They didn't do like a follow up at the end, I love a happy ending and I feel like I had to insta-stalk a few ppl in here just to see if they kept surviving. I though Karl was fine af! Not to mention the ONLY one through all the doom and gloom to be able to come in and brighten up someone's day like he did. Karl feel free to hmu hunny!

It was sad to see what all everyone went though from different perspective's but more info was a definite. As someone who is Vaxed I would have liked to have known if they were or if it even helped. I am one of those sheep type ppl and I got Vaxed the second it came out, if only to prevent half if not all of what this Doc was about! Wow, it was really hard to not insert my opinion, oh well now that we are here. I also do not think they inserted the racisms aspect on purpose, they added it because it was just what was going on the time of shooting this, duh! Leaving my opinions out of it, I have seen better Doc that gave way more info and heart. They get an A for Effort but the deliver in the end was not worth even investing the time into this in the first place. If you have time to spear though, it was ok, just grab the tissues.
