The best documentaries delve deep inside the world we think know so well and reveal everything, and more. In this first trailer for the documentary CODE BLACK, the sheer intensity of the job and the Emergency Room comes across tenfold, so who knows what the final feature will do to both inform and inspire.
I can’t think of a more intense job than the ER in any hospital, every decision is vital and every second is acting on a situation without hesitation to the best of your ability. In this vivid-looking first feature from physician Ryan McGarry M.D., we’re given unprecedented access to America’s busiest Emergency Department at Los Angeles County Hospital.
Amidst real life-and-death situations, McGarry follows a dedicated team of young doctors-in training as they wrestle openly with both their ideals and with the realities of saving lives in a complex and overburdened system. Their training ground and source of inspiration is “C-Booth,” Los Angeles County Hospital’s legendary trauma bay, the birthplace of Emergency Medicine, where “more people have died and more people have been saved than in any other square footage in the United States.“
Although primarily dealing with America’s health system, it has a doctor’s-eye view, right into the heart of the healthcare debate and would surely resonate with audiences across the globe. It won the Best Documentary winner at Los Angeles Film Festival and the Hamptons International Film Festival, as well as the Audience Award Winner at both Denver Starz Film Festival and Aspen FilmFest.
I think this is a must watch, so check the trailer, visit their official site and let us know what you think of CODE BLACK:
