CBS News’s BRAVERY AND HOPE: 7 DAYS ON THE FRONT LINE has been honored with a Christopher Award, presented by The Christophers, to celebrate producers, directors, authors and illustrators whose work affirms the highest values of the human spirit.

BRAVERY AND HOPE: 7 DAYS ON THE FRONT LINE featured the work of a team of CBS News journalists embedded with emergency physicians and critical care specialists, struggling to save patients suffering from COVID-19 at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, N.Y. BRAVERY AND HOPE: 7 DAYS ON THE FRONT LINE took viewers inside the floors of the largest hospital in the hardest-hit borough of New York City. A CBS News team, clad in protective equipment, spent seven days in the emergency department and intensive care units, following medical staff as they urgently placed patients on breathing machines and resuscitated others suffering cardiac failure. The documentary also captured the toll the disease had on one of the poorest and worst-stricken neighborhoods in New York City and the nation.

The Christopher Awards were created in 1949 and honor films, television programs, books and more that celebrate the humanity of people in a positive way.

BRAVERY AND HOPE: 7 DAYS ON THE FRONT LINE is produced by Andrew Bast, Sean Herbert, Gilad Thaler, Josh Gaynor, Magalie Laguerre-Wilkinson, Pat Milton, Sasha Reuther and Marcelena Spencer. Josh Gelman is the senior producer. Diana Decilio, Seth Fox, Michael McHugh and Michael Vele are the producer-editors. Danielle Levy is the field producer. Matthew DeVoe is the Director. Guy Campanile and Mitch Weitzner are the executive producers. Susan Zirinsky is president and senior executive producer of CBS News.
