The COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t only taken lives; it’s divided our country. Neighbors have turned on each other, family members have stopped speaking with one another, and many are left asking how it got to this point? The answers may be found in the small Texas city of San Angelo, Texas. In September 2021, it gained the unwanted distinction of being the fastest-growing city in the state for new COVID-19 cases. It’s also become a battleground for the politics of the pandemic.

Dying to be Wrong is an NBCLX mini-documentary series premiering on Oct. 18th examining an America divided by COVID-19. NBCLX Storyteller Cody Broadway goes back to his hometown to explore an America divided by COVID-19, capturing the stories of the people whose lives have been forever changed by the pandemic. From those who say they choose to live their life by faith over fear to the local medical officials facing severe burnout to the families pleading with people to get vaccinated and wear a mask, Dying To Be Wrong asks what’s the ultimate price paid for COVID misinformation.
