Episode 1: News of the World | We Are All In This Together: Pandemic-Johnstown, 1918

 Kathleen (O’Creidy) Wissenschaft led a typical family in Johnstown’s Cambria City in 1918-1919, negotiating lockdowns, school and church closings, quarantines, social distancing, mask initiatives, vaccination attempts, and Red Cross volunteer efforts. The character is fictional, but the history is real.

The Johnstown Area Heritage Association allowed the use of the 1860 Wagner-Ritter House for the film’s set. Paul D. Newman directed the film as part of Bob Cat Films, with Jason Bolinger as director of photography, and starring actor Kate Davis. The Tribune-Democrat recreated a historic newspaper for use as a prop. Episodes will premiere weekly on Thursdays at 7 pm on In This Together Cambria's YouTube channel and Facebook page. A discussion with the cast and crew will occur on Zoom and Facebook Live at 7:30 pm following each premiere.
