Film Description:
"A
primary care clinic in Minnesota becomes a crossroads for embattled refugees
and their devoted doctors. We get a glimpse of the failing health and
remarkable lives of Lem Thor, a former political prisoner from Cambodia;
Patrick Junior, a member of an oppressed ethnic minority in Burma; and Alex
Gliptis, an Ethiopian refugee suffering from PTSD, diabetes and HIV treated
throughout the course of the film, they all face life-threatening health
emergencies, and there trajectories prove surprising even to their doctors.”
