Behind the Mask
Witness the American Hospital of Paris’s exemplary handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in our documentary
After originally airing on Planète+ A&E last April, Behind the Mask will be broadcast on Thursday July 8th at 9:05 pm on C8, a free television channel. This documentary covers the American Hospital of Paris’s exemplary handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
On February 28, 2020, one of the first cases of Covid-19 in France’s Hauts-de-Seine department was diagnosed at the American Hospital of Paris. That day, our staff couldn’t have imagined the magnitude of the battle that lay ahead.
It was an unprecedented crisis for everyone, including our nurses, doctors, patient transporters and executives who, behind their masks, fought relentlessly to save lives with unflagging courage and devotion. The documentary, filmed during the first two waves of the epidemic and featuring voice-over narration by French actor Gérard Lanvin, tells their story.
