Behind the Mask, a new documentary
In 2020, in the midst of the first two waves of Covid, the American Hospital of Paris opened its doors to filmmaker Stéphane Krausz.
Our aim: to show the challenges faced by caregivers during this unprecedented period, but also to listen to their fears and share their daily life "behind the mask". This documentary pays tribute to their work and their commitment.
The documentary Behind the Mask will be broadcast on Friday April 9 at 9 p.m. on PLANETE + A&E and will be available on My CANAL.
One of the first cases of Covid-19 in Île-de-France was diagnosed at the American Hospital of Paris on Friday, February 28, 2020. Our frontline staff could not have imagined that it would be the first of many, marking the beginning of an unprecedented health crisis.
Our aim in making this film was to pay tribute to healthcare professionals, their remarkable devotion and commitment, and their outstanding courage and passion for what they do.
