On episode 16 of Frontline’s 2020 season, Frontline investigates the American response to COVID-19 and examines what happens when politics and science collides. Health experts including Providence’s own Dr. Amy Compton-Phillip and Dr. George Diaz gives insight into what health systems are did to respond to the pandemic and what’s happening now.
