LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS TRULY TRANSCENDENT FILM!...now streaming on HBO Max

...This is a story that envelops all of us, and it is devastating...At the simplest level, the stories of trauma and loss told in "In the Same Breath" exist as a necessary corrective...An incisive exploration of how political narratives and public health collided in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, and still do...Wang Nanfu's extraordinary documentary sees contemporary political structures are as much of a disease as Covid-19, and, in the long run, the deadlier foes...Outstanding director Nanfu Wang was prescient enough to send a covert team of cameras into hospitals, homes, and morgues to capture the truth and anguish, then follow the virus-and the bungling cover-up-across the sea to America...Harrowing and inspiring, In the Same Breath offers an intimate window into a world of pandemic experiences that was hidden from us...Wang succeeds in showing how the media and officials manipulate the messages...A brutal look at Wuhan's Covid outbreak morphs into a dialectical exploration of America's in a war that has no winners.
