shareWith a population of over nine million, Mexico City only supplies 45 government run emergency ambulances to cover the entire sprawling urban landscape. In steps the Ochoa family, who operate one of many for-profit independent ambulance services in the city. This adrenaline-fueled, heart-racing Sundance hit follows the Ochoas as they speed through the night attempting to save lives while still turning a profit. A morally complex, artfully-crafted portrait captures a tattered healthcare system powered by capitalism and corruption.
