Clínica de Migrantes: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

It is a volunteer-run clinic in south Philadelphia called Puentes de Salud that offers free medical care to undocumented immigrants in need. A group of doctors and nurses volunteer their time to help those who might otherwise go unnoticed or overlooked. One of Maxim Pozdorovkin's most compelling films, Clinica de Migrantes, chronicles a year in the lives of Puentes Clinic staff and patients. People who have been uprooted from their homes, separated from their families, and unfamiliar with local culture are all depicted in the film, as are those who are unable to obtain health insurance and too afraid to seek medical attention. Patients' tales are told through Clinica's focus on the courageous work of doctors and nurses who give of their time and expertise for the benefit of others. This film is a compelling testament to humanity's seemingly boundless capacity for good.
