Community Healthcare
As the struggle continues to ensure healthcare as a human right, vulnerable groups are continually thrust into precarity. For December, Cinema Politica assembled a program of films that imagine worlds beyond the neoliberal violence of the Western healthcare industry. From Honduras to New York, this trio of docs captures three community-lead movements to create healthcare access for neglected populations. Our selections include a new acquisition of Mia Donovan’s DOPE IS DEATH, alongside two classics: Jim Hubbard’s UNITED IN ANGER and Beth Geglia and Jesse Freeston’s REVOLUTIONARY MEDICINE.
