COVID-19 cast a grim light on an even larger pandemic that has long plagued America’s healthcare system: a history of unequal treatment of patients based on their race. These health disparities were identified as a crisis in 2003, but little has been done since. Produced and hosted by Oprah Winfrey, this stirring documentary tells the stories of some of the victims behind the statistics, showing what it means to live with racial inequities in healthcare, and serving as a call-to-action to demand change and improve the lives of so many in need.
