About TRUSTED MESSENGER
As 2021 unfolds, the world still grapples with COVID-19 and herd immunity eludes us, with vaccine skepticism posing a huge obstacle. During the early months of the vaccination effort, filmmaker Chris Newberry and his crew followed a diverse ensemble of dedicated health care professionals as they set out to gain the trust of at-risk communities across Minnesota. The resulting 57-minute documentary is a tribute to the doctors, nurses, organizers and influencers who are embracing community-led efforts to overcome vaccine hesitancy.
