Lorna Green accompanied a health care union team from L.A. to Cuba, to study the Cuban national health care system. Her job was to document the Cuban system as it actually exists, and she does that very well, covering local neighborhood clinics, hospitals, and even a psychiatric institution. After her return, circumstances affecting her family resulted in her deciding to film a very personal account of her mother's and brother's experiences with the health care mess in the U.S. The contrast, while underplayed, is very illuminating: Cubans simply assume that doctors and nurses and hospitals will be there for them, while working class Americans must live in dread of getting sick or injured.
