BRAVERY AND HOPE: 7 DAYS ON THE FRONT LINE goes to the patient floors of the largest hospital in the hardest-hit borough of New York City. Montefiore Medical Center’s Moses Campus is bursting with nearly 700 patients, 80% of whom are diagnosed with COVID-19. A CBS News team, clad in protective equipment, spent seven days in the emergency department and intensive care units with physicians as they urgently placed patients on breathing machines and resuscitated others suffering cardiac failure.

The documentary captures the toll the disease has taken on one of the poorest and worst-stricken neighborhoods in New York City, and the nation. A Bronx father lights candles and prays that his son, a first responder, will recover and come home from the hospital. From the back of a pickup truck, a parish priest rolls through the neighborhood with a loudspeaker, blessing the sick and homebound.
