TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT
Directed by Carolyn Jones
USA, 2014, 81 minutes
Meet the Filmmaker: Director Carolyn Jones and producer Lisa Frank.
Through powerful and compelling portraits of five nurses, The American Nurse confronts some of the biggest issues facing America - aging, war, poverty, and prisons. Jason Short drives up a creek to reach a home-bound cancer patient in Appalachia. Tonia Faust runs a prison hospice program where inmates serving life sentences care for their fellow inmates as they're dying. Naomi Cross coaches patient Becky, an ovarian cancer survivor, through the Caesarean delivery of her son. Sister Stephen runs a nursing home filled with goats, sheep, llamas and chickens where the entire nursing staff comes together to sing to a dying resident. And Brian McMillion, an Army veteran and former medic, rehabilitates wounded soldiers returning from war. The American Nurse will very likely change how you think about the challenges of healthcare America, and about those who are there for us when we are born and die and many times along the way.
After the film, join director Carolyn Jones and producer Lisa Frank for a discussion moderated by Rivertown Film Society board member, and nurse, Judi Peacock. Other guests to be announced.
