You may ask yourself, "Haven't I heard and seen enough about COVID-19 and vaccines, and can't I just take a break from that?" Well, you could, but you'd really be missing out. In Trusted Messenger, Twin Cities filmmaker Chris Newberry takes the time to explore why some individuals in communities of color are reluctant to get the COVID vaccine, and what health care professionals across Minnesota are doing to convince them to vaccinate-- like maybe trying to win over a skeptical but respected North Side Minneapolis barber. The people Chris shows us in his film teach us that we have to reject false information about vaccines, but we also have to reject the automatic demonization of all people who have hesitancies about them. This is a serious subject but an enjoyable film. Chris is a good storyteller-- it's why he won the Big Water Audience Favorite Award in 2014 for his film, American Heart.
