Facts. Trauma is forever. And the only thing that changes is how we handle it. Thank you for making this film.

Just watched the film on Hulu. What a truly incredible, masterfully crafted documentary. Bottomless respect for both the valiant health care workers and the filmmakers.

Savannah, GA just opened COVID WARD on 5th floor putting me on 7th as negative. Told I don't need to wear mask but past few days, sneezing, dripping nose, etc. Biomed doc told me today several doctors tested positive. A shortage of personnel. A retired physical therapist who rides about 150mi week! Tough and exasperating!
