Hard to believe we’ve dealing with the pandemic for over a year and a half. A new doc looks at the chaos of the early days of the world dealing with COVID-19. From the reality to the misinformation.
Synopsis: IN THE SAME BREATH recounts the experiences of people on the ground in the earliest days of the novel coronavirus and the way two countries dealt with its initial spread, from the first days of the outbreak in Wuhan to its rampage across the United States. Directed with a deeply personal approach by Wang, who was born in China and now lives in the United States, the film explores the early confusion and parallel campaigns by authorities to try to contain the virus as well as shape the public narrative through misinformation, resulting in a devastating impact on citizens of both countries.
IN THE SAME BREATH will debut on HBO Wednesday, August 18 at 9pm ET then stream HBO Max the following day.
