My name is Tara Christopher and I’m booking screenings of the film Clínica de Migrantes: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This HBO documentary features the story of a volunteer-run medical clinic in Philadelphia that treats uninsured and undocumented immigrants. I’m writing because the director, Maxim Pozdorovkin (The Notorious Mr. Bout [2014], Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer [2013]) is planning a tour of the film, and would like to offer you the opportunity to host a screening at The North Carolina Healthy Start Foundation. Maxim, and Dr. Steve Larson, the director of Puentes medical clinic and a subject of the film, are also available to come speak to your community.
Clínica de Migrantes: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness Synopsis:
Clinica de Migrantes is a medical drama about a year in the life of Puentes, one of the only health clinics in the U.S. involved in the politically controversial practice of providing healthcare to undocumented immigrants. By law, illegal immigrants cannot obtain health insurance, and receive no regular medical treatment. At Puentes, a team of volunteers led by Dr. Steve Larson attend to an ever-growing population of housekeepers, prep cooks, and construction workers. Many come to Puentes after being turned away at other hospitals. Full of unforgettable patient-doctor interactions and human portraits,Clinica de Migrantes tells the story of America’s true untouchable class and of the heroic few who reach out to help them.
