CRACKING COVID is a real-time journey through Australia’s unique pandemic experience. As teams of scientists race to unlock the secrets of the virus, researchers work to build a vaccine from scratch, and three patients confront very different symptoms of a terrifying new disease. Professor Peter Doherty – who won a Nobel Prize for his discoveries about the human immune system – joins Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Sonya Pemberton, providing warm and witty expert insight. We discover how, in uncertain times, we often have little choice but to improvise. CRACKING COVID is a surprisingly intimate story of Australia’s race against the virus – as it happened, in the moment.
