Revolutionary Medicine

Directed by Beth Geglia and Jesse Freeston ∙ USA / Canada / Honduras ∙ 2013

Could a remote hospital that runs on solar panels, in a community without paved roads or electricity, provide a global model for health care? Since arriving in Honduras in 1797, the Garifuna people have struggled against exclusion, discrimination and dispossession of their land. Today, their first hospital provides holistic care, for free, without receiving a cent from the government. This is a story of how and why they do it.
