The short film highlights the extraordinary work of SOMOS Founder Dr. Ramon Tallaj who gives a riveting account of the Coronavirus outbreak in New York City and his remarkable journey leading an army of community based physicians throughout the city's most vulnerable communities over a two year period.

"It is all the more rewarding having produced content that saved so many lives and knowing that our story is being heard."
