The Line (Blank, Jensen)
by Erik Jensen, Jessica Blank

THE STORY: Crafted from firsthand interviews with New York City’s frontline medical workers, THE LINE exposes the cracks in the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paramedics, doctors, nurses, and EMTs put their own health at risk as they work to save every patient, redefining what it means to protect and serve.

Among them, an actor-turned-nurse handles his uncle’s deteriorating health while trying to keep his patients afloat, and a doctor consoles a mourning patient’s daughter while holding back his own grief and shock.

Provocative, honest, and gut-wrenching, THE LINE documents the authentic experiences of medical first responders as they battle to save lives in a system built to serve the bottom line.
