A debate over healthcare has been raging nationwide, but what's been lost in the discussion are the American citizens who live day after day, year after year without solutions for their most basic needs. Remote Area Medical documents the annual three-day "pop-up" medical clinic organized by the non-profit Remote Area Medical (RAM) in Bristol, Tennessee's NASCAR speedway. Instead of a film about policy, Remote Area Medical is a film about people, about a proud Appalachian community banding together to try and provide some relief for friends and neighbors who are simply out of options.
Leave your thoughts about Remote Area Medical.
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThis movie provides a snapshot of what health care in America was like for some people before many provisions of Obamacare took effect, and it is a depressing snapshot. |
| indieWireEmma MyersRemote Area Medical lays bare the injustice of a system that fails to provide for those who need it most. |
| NPRMark JenkinsWhat the movie does most powerfully and poignantly is capture its subjects' desperation. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenAlthough the documentary can feel like a volunteer instructional video at times, the faces on those who have fallen through the cracks in the system speak volumes. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyThis deeply compassionate, quietly furious documentary ... highlights, in dramatic detail, the woeful lack of medical care available to residents of one Appalachian community-and, by extension, to many Americans. |
| CinemacyMorgan RojasIn this eye-opening film, we get an intimate look at a Tennessee clinic's operation for three days and experience first hand the hardships that many Americans encounter to receive basic medical care. |
| Village VoiceCalum MarshReichert and Zaman level a perceptive, justly withering eye at the state of healthcare in the United States, careful to remind, if only implicitly, of the tragedy that necessitates these commendable acts of charity. |
| The DissolveTasha RobinsonReichert and Zaman don’t editorialize, which keeps Remote Area Medical from being preachy, forceful, or didactic, but also leaves it feeling shapeless. |
| AV ClubNick SchagerThe camera tracks every emotional up and down, through tests and surgery, with an unfussy precision that allows the themes to arise naturally. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsThe filmmakers inspire deep admiration for the volunteers, but without reducing the patients to mere victims of our broken welfare system. |
