Fighting for Life movie
A powerful, sobering and emotional feature documentary portrait of American military medicine interweaving three stories:
- Military doctors, nurses and medics, working with skill, compassion and dedication amidst the vortex of the Iraq War.
- Wounded soldiers and marines reacting with courage, dignity and determination to survive and to heal.
- Students at USU, the “West Point” of military medicine, on their journey toward becoming career military physicians.
The filmmakers had extraordinary access to combat support hospitals in Iraq, medevac flights with wounded soldiers, and military hospitals in Germany and the United States.
I hope they have a screening in San Francisco at some point.
