Just out of quarantine after a nearly symptom free Covid infection for all family members. I couldn’t be more thankful for the Covid vaccines! Seeing @FirstWaveFilm today is an incredibly cinematic and essential reminder of how far we have come. What stays with you is HOPE!

I'm still thinking about #TheFirstWave from this weekend. Incredibly difficult (throughout) but so significant to consider: w/ the sheer grit + grace of humanity presented in this film. Such important viewing as we continue to make sense of this moment.

Shocking, devastating, heart-rending, essential. Beautifully shot and edited, allowing the subjects - patients, their families, and the professionals caring for them - to speak for themselves.
This should be required watching for every adult in this country.
