While helping their patients fight for their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare professionals are coping with their own trauma of losing patients, colleagues, and fear for their own health and safety.
With exclusive access inside one of New York’s hardest-hit hospital systems during the first four months of the pandemic, Oscar®-nominated and Emmy® Award-winning director Matthew Heineman’s THE FIRST WAVE spotlights the everyday heroes at the epicenter of COVID-19 as they come together to fight one of the greatest threats the world has ever encountered. Watch this intimate conversation following the NYC premiere of THE FIRST WAVE in November 2021, where the clinicians, patients, directors, and producers share their powerful insights and reflections on the heels of the film's release.
The film is now available for streaming on Hulu.
