The Buffalo News reported that the “FIGHT FOR GOOD: One Body One Soul,” is being screened Saturday as the latest tool in the effort to overcome vaccine hesitancy.

The 29-minute film from the Community Health Center of Buffalo and the Buffalo Documentary Project includes not only the center’s medical experts busting myths and breaking down the science around the vaccines in ways that are easy to understand, it also includes everyday people from Buffalo and Niagara Falls.

This film is also a follow-up to the original “FIGHT FOR GOOD,” which premiered last spring and featured the Health Center’s professionals discussing their experiences and motivations in helping the community deal with Covid and other challenges.

The original was an effort to archive the African American community’s response to Covid and the follow-up is aimed specifically at getting more people to get the vaccine.
