Let These Voices Be Heard (The Speech)

The Speech from Document Films on Vimeo.

On the night of Obama’s address to a joint session of Congress – a rarity for any sitting president – we dragged an old tv into the waiting room to show the assembled patients and staff Obama’s speech and get their reactions. Here Robert Taylor and Sheon Slaughter, both uninsured, offered their thoughts. Highland Hospital volunteer Lucy Ogbu and Certified Nurse Assistant Amy Johnson also discuss the implications of the speech.

Highland Hospital is in Oakland, CA. For more information—and for many more video clips from the hospital—check out The Waiting Room.

We Can’t Afford to Wait (MoveOn & R.E.M)

Have you called Congress to say you support health care reform that includes a public option?

Even if you have, call again.
