Invisible Shield Q&A

The Invisible Shield, a four-part documentary series, reveals a little-known truth: that public health saved your life today and you probably don’t even know it. But while public health makes modern life possible, the work itself is often underfunded, undervalued, and misunderstood.

Lewis and Clark Public Health hosted a screening of the four-part series at the Myrna Loy Theater on September 10, October 8, November 12, and January 7. Each hour-long film was followed by an hour of facilitated community conversation. 

The series is free to stream on PBS for anyone to watch: The Invisible Shield | PBS
