About The First Wave
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
