The First Wave is a 2021 American documentary film, directed and produced by Matthew Heineman. The film follows a hospital in New York City, as it battles the COVID-19 pandemic. Alex Gibney serves as an executive producer.

It had its world premiere at the Hamptons Film Festival on October 7, 2021. It is scheduled to be released on November 19, 2021, by Neon.

Synopsis

The film follows a hospital in New York City from March to June 2020 as it battles the COVID-19 pandemic. The film examines structural factors that influenced the initial COVID outbreak and how such factors impact American society more broadly.

Production

In April 2020, it was announced Heineman would direct a documentary film revolving around the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on health care workers with Alex Gibney set to serve as an executive producer.[2][3]

Matthew Heineman reached out to a source from his previous film Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare, to explore access opportunities at different medical facilities in New York, with Long Island Jewish Medical Center allowing Heineman and his crew to film.[4] Donning the same personal protective equipment as hospital staff, two-person teams deployed to chronicle unfolding events. No crew members contracted the virus during production.[5]

Release

In March 2021, Neon and National Geographic Documentary Films acquired distribution rights to the film.[6] It had its world premiere at the Hamptons International Film Festival on October 7, 2021.[7] It also screened at the Busan International Film Festival and BFI London Film Festival on October 9, 2021.[8][9] It will also screen at AFI Fest in November 2021.[10] It is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 19, 2021.[11] and in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2021, by Dogwoof.[12]
