Please come out and support the film, and spread the word and invite your friends. After playing festivals around the country, receiving great press from the likes of ABC News and Filmmaker Magazine, and being honored with awards from the Nashville Film Festival, River Run Film Festival, and IFF Boston, we are so happy to bring our movie to our home town! – Jeff Reichert & Farihah Zaman

ABOUT REMOTE AREA MEDICAL:
Amid the nation’s ongoing debate over health care reform, this bracing new documentary examines the everyday realities of Americans who lack access to affordable medical treatment. Filmed during three days in the operation of a “no-cost” clinic set up annually at Bristol, Tennessee’s NASCAR speedway, Remote Area Medical documents the range of medical care the eponymous organization provides to low-income patients in the heart of Appalachia. In the process, this moving film reveals the spirit of a community, the fragility of the human body, and the inequality of our broken health care system.
