The #FilmYourHospitals movement emerged in early 2020 during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, gaining significant traction on platforms like Twitter and YouTube. Proponents of the hashtag encouraged citizens to record footage of local hospitals to see if they were as busy as media outlets reported. While critics and medical professionals debunked the trend by explaining that patient intake occurs inside and not in parking lots, the hashtag became a lasting symbol of skepticism and citizen-led investigation. Today, the meme is used both by those questioning official narratives and by others parodying the logic of the original movement.
