Storyline

Amid the nation’s ongoing debate over health care reform, this bracing new documentary examines the everyday realities of Americans who lack access to affordable medical treatment. Filmed during three days in the operation of a “no-cost” clinic set up annually at Bristol, Tennessee’s NASCAR speedway, Remote Area Medical documents the range of medical care the eponymous organization provides to low-income patients in the heart of Appalachia.

Genuinely moving but never maudlin, Remote Area Medical lays bare the injustice of a system that fails to provide for those who need it most.

RTChicago ReaderJan 12, 2015

The filmmakers inspire deep admiration for the volunteers, but without reducing the patients to mere victims of our broken welfare system.

RTThe New YorkerDec 8, 2014

This deeply compassionate, quietly furious documentary ... highlights, in dramatic detail, the woeful lack of medical care available to residents of one Appalachian community-and, by extension, to many Americans.

The documentary accomplishes an admirable task by highlighting an issue and showing how some are trying to fix it.
