— THE CHANGING FACE OF CINEMA VERITE
— ‘THE WAITING ROOM’, Peter Nicks, 2012, 83 min.
America’s controversial health care system is broken and nowhere is it more evident than in The Waiting Room. A composite 24 hour period at Highland Hospital in Oakland, one of the nation’s busiest emergency rooms, offers a raw, intimate look at what it means for millions of Americans to live without health insurance.
Followed by a conversation with Peter Nicks, Stanley Nelson, Sam Pollard and Albert Maysles about the changing face of cinema verité.
