After a MICU stretch I finally saw #TotallyUnderControl. One line that stuck with me is there are times when politicians need to get out of the way. @alexgibneyfilm shows that a key failure of the WH was the inability to cede control and let the experts manage the pandemic.
The film does a very good job of taking the frustrations voiced by so many people and bringing them into a laser focus on the root causes. It should serve as a record of how our response went wrong and how to avoid the same mistakes for the next pandemic.
The film highlights the importance of public servants. People like @RickABright & @DrNancyM_CDC should be commended for the stand they took. At their personal/professional expense, they put the needs of the country first to tell the truth & speak out. They are heroes in my book.
Lastly, I thank @hillingers & the other producers for what was a monumental effort in a short period of time. #COVID19’s impact on communities of color was a needed area of focus for this story and I appreciate their foresight. I’m very proud to have been a part of this project.
