Host Barbara Glickstein interviews Director Pete Nicks, THE WAITING ROOM: http://www.whatruwaitingfor.com
Everyday in public hospital waiting rooms across the country people sit and wait. Hidden in those long hours of waiting are stories of life, death, courage, gratitude and hope. These are the stories that can spark change. The Waiting Room is a unique blend of traditional documentary film, locative media and social media that reveals a community disconnected from technology, the conversation about health care reform and equal access to care. The expression and sharing of story by the under-served is vital to our nation’s understanding of the impact of public policy. The project is also driven by the powerfully therapeutic benefits of providing a platform for people stuck in hospital waiting rooms to share their thoughts and feelings about their health and their lives; their hopes and their fears. A free screening of The Waiting Room with Pete Nicks will be held on Thursday, November 17 at 6 PM
at the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College 2180 Third Avenue at 119th ST, main auditorium, 2nd floor. For more information and to rsvp http://bit.ly/rUpVR5
