NEW YORK – Filmmaker Sasha Joelle Achilli has made documentaries on the Ebola virus and now the coronavirus.
Ask which virus scares her more, and the answer is easy. “The frightening thing about COVID is it's everywhere, and you just don't know,” she said. “It is airborne and it feels much more easy to contract.
So it was more frightening, definitely.” Achilli's film, “Inside Italy's COVID War,” is being shown on “Frontline” at 10 p.m.
Tuesday on most PBS stations. While the documentary looks at the crisis through the eyes of an emergency room doctor at Cremona Hospital in northern Italy, the story is universal.
