Didn’t see a thread for this yet. A friend sent this link to me. It found it powerful, harrowing, and devastating, but I also felt more connected to humanity afterwards. Definitely, exceeded my expectations. I believe it’s available until 8/4. Only a little over an hour long. I highly recommend
“Crafted from firsthand interviews with New York City medical first responders during the COVID-19 pandemic, THE LINE cuts through the media and political noise to reveal the lived experiences of frontline medical workers in New York and their battle to save lives in a system built to serve the bottom line.”

Anyone else watch? I’d love to hear your thoughts. It’s only about an hour long.
I’m amazed that they were able to create something so impactful while we’re still living through this. It’s been my experience that it usually takes years to get the perspective to create good or great art out of a major life event/crisis/loss/trauma.

I agree it was a masterful job of editing/directing/etc that brings great and immediate honesty. And the performances were amazingly good. The required warning: It's a fresh box of kleenex type show.

Yes, I agree about the Kleenex!

I knew of it but I didn’t have it on a watch list. Watched it last night. Incredible in every way. Thx, Miles, for posting the reviews.
