THE AMERICAN NURSE is a heart-warming film that explores some of the biggest issues facing America - aging, war, poverty, prisons - through the work and lives of nurses. It is an examination of real people that will change how we think about nurses and how we wrestle with the challenges of healing America. THE AMERICAN NURSE is an important contribution to America's ongoing conversation about what it means to care. The film follows the paths of five nurses in various practice specialties including Jason Short as he drives up a rugged creek to reach a home-bound cancer patient in Appalachia. Tonia Faust, who runs a prison hospice program where inmates serving life sentences care for their fellow inmates as they're dying. Naomi Cross, as she coaches an ovarian cancer survivor through the Caesarean delivery of her son. Sister Stephen, a nun who runs a nursing home filled with goats, sheep, llamas and chickens, where the entire nursing staff comes together to sing for a dying resident. And Brian McMillion, an Army veteran and former medic, rehabilitating wounded soldiers returning from war.
Leave your thoughts about The American Nurse.
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA compassionate and psychologically revealing doc. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferMoving and humanizing. It will forever change the way you look at nurses. |
| New York TimesAnita GatesIf the film is workmanlike at times, it is also elegantly cleareyed. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreKudos to Kino Lorber for letting people see it for free at a time when not everyone is in a position to sing to or applaud the health care professionals risking their own health to save us from a pandemic. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonIn watching The American Nurse, I saw myself not so much in the nurses but in their patients. It occurs to me the nurses are always there, from our birth to death and in between. That in the current pandemic they would need to beg for personal protective equipment is on us as a society. They are our better angels. |
| Village VoiceHeather BaysaWatching these nurses confront our mortality in all its bloody, pussy, festering, and thoroughly unglamorous forms stirs new appreciation for the profession. |
| User ReviewSarah BThis is an excellent documentary, and a must-watch for any nurse or nursing student. It shows the struggle that nurses face through the lives of five different nurses, and gives a comprehensive look into what it really means to be a nurse. This film taught me so much, and will leave you in awe of the hard work and dedication that truly goes into being a nurse. |
| User ReviewBeth Bthis is a stunning work of art. An intimate portrait of five nurses and their passion for their work. Moving, cinematically beautiful, riveting, can't look away fantastic. find a showing and go see it. Take a nurse you love with you. |
| User ReviewMichelle MExcellent inspiring documentary - a must see for all budding nursing students |
