Clínica de Migrantes: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Puentes de Salud is a volunteer-run clinic in south Philadelphia that offers free medical care to undocumented immigrants. Doctors and nurses volunteer their time to help people who would otherwise go unnoticed. Clinica de Migrantes, a powerful film by Maxim Pozdorovkin, follows the workers and patients of Puentes through months of routine care and growth. Along the way, the film puts a face to the millions of people who live on the outskirts of society: people who have been displaced from their homelands, separated from their families, are unfamiliar with the customs, are unable to obtain health insurance, and are afraid to come forward to seek medical help. Clinica, in addition to revealing these patient stories, also looks at the heroic doctors and nurses who work pro bono to ensure these people receive care, providing a deeply moving look at humanity's limitless potential.
