When the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) decided to close the Braddock Hospital, the community responded in force. This account of their spirited two-and-a-half-year struggle, captured in cinema verité footage, features demonstrations, protest songs written to the tune of their struggle, and meetings with double-talking politicians. Ultimately, the dying Braddock and surrounding area wasn't generating the kind of money-or patients-the management wanted. At the same time the citizens of Braddock were advocating for health care as a human right, UPMC was making billions of dollars in profit. Winner of the Studs Terkel Award for Media and Journalism.
