About the film

I’M STILL HERE LOVE explores the impact of health mis- and disinformation as told by the family and friends of three unvaccinated men who died from COVID-19. Social media platforms inundated desperate people with farcical information, disproportionately impacting communities of color. This film addresses how COVID-19 deaths are now described as “preventable”, and leaves us to question the impact of continued vaccine mis- and disinformation in the wake of rising non-medical exemptions for school vaccinations, an increasing online anti-vax sentiment, and threats of eliminating school vaccine mandates altogether.

What people are saying

The power of the film comes from the incredible individuals who were willing to share their stories of loss while bravely admitting how they or their loved one allowed misinformation to manipulate them into perpetuating false narratives that ultimately ended in tragedy. The film highlights the importance of reliable news sources and of science as a whole. Putting politics aside, seeing and listening to to actual misinformation victims can't help but touch viewers' humanity. If watching this film has the potential to change one person's mind about how they get their health information, it deserves to be seen by every American.

I came to the film as an emergency and critical care physician who practiced during the COVID pandemic and left with a deeper understanding of my patients, their families, and myself—a poignant account of uncertainty, isolation, and the weight of decisions in a time defined by illness, loss, and the power of misinformation.

I’m Still Here, Love explores the devastating impact of medical mis-and disinformation on human health decisions, especially in BIPOC families and communities. The film documents the death of three unvaccinated men whose lives were cut short, in part, by medical mis-and disinformation during the pandemic. At a time when disinformation assaults the foundation of factual discourse and misinformation is rampant, the film beckons us toward compassion, community engagement, and media literacy education.

As someone who spent time in the MICU during the first wave of COVID, this film hit a tender nerve I didn’t know was still exposed. Those early days—full of fear, isolation, and the constant hum of machines—still live in my body. Watching this film felt like someone finally put that unspoken experience into words and images. Meg didn’t look away from the hard parts, and somehow that made space for healing. One of the most powerful things about I’m Still Here, Love is how clearly it cuts through all the noise. During the pandemic—and still now—so many stories were twisted, ignored, or buried under misinformation and disinformation. That silence hurts. It separates us from each other and from the truth. This film is a reminder that telling the truth matters. That lived experience matters. That honoring the real stories—especially the painful ones—is how we begin to make sense of collective trauma. If we’re ever going to heal, we have to be willing to listen.

As a physician, I have witnessed firsthand the critical importance of understanding how information shapes public perception and individual well-being. This film offers a compelling exploration of how individuals and communities navigated the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring the human experience amidst complex circumstances and the influence of generational and cultural divides. The film highlights the multifaceted ways in which narratives are formed and consumed, and it underscores the profound impact these narratives have on our collective understanding and response. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I encountered numerous instances where patients, influenced by narratives that contradicted established medical science, struggled to accept factual information and advice regarding the efficacy of vaccines. Megan Daniels' work provides essential context and fosters a deeper understanding of the forces that shape our responses to crises.
