Set in New York City from 1929, this compelling true story highlights the courageous Black nurses known as the "Black Angels" who worked tirelessly during a tuberculosis crisis, facing racism and challenging conditions at Sea View Hospital. Spanning decades of the Great Depression and World War II, the narrative sheds light on their pivotal yet often overlooked role in fighting a deadly disease and advancing desegregation in the healthcare system. This story celebrates their resilience, legacy, and vital contributions to public health.
