This is a look at Betty Clark a chaplain and Jessica Zitter a physician Palliative Care section of the a the Wilma Chan Highland Hospital. Its a lovely look at two women who actually want to make aa difference in the lives of their patients and not just make money.
I don't have a great deal to say about the film. Because Unseen FIlm's Nate Hood worked as I hospital Chaplain I have had a lot of discussions about the subject. I've also seen several films on chaplains over the last few years as a result. Because of this my take on the film is different than other people's.
I like this film. As a look at two lovely women and the good work they do it is a wonderful film. It does not deal with some of the darker aspects of hospital life. That's not a knock against the film, but more that I wanted something abit meatier. Don't get me wrong, what is here is wonderful, I just wanted more.
That said, if the subject interests you make an effort to see it when it plays near you.
