Film Synopsis:
What if you called for an ambulance and one never came?
 
The goal of this documentary is to raise awareness of the systemic collapse of EMS and to advocate for change. Shockingly, most states don’t mandate the provision of EMS, so funding is unpredictable and inadequate. There is a critical workforce shortage, particularly in rural areas, which in turn has lead to much longer response times. This is something that will affect all of us and we should be very concerned.
