DescriptionA sad, funny, tense, deeply affecting day-in-the-life of an under-resourced public hospital, this gripping documentary easily ranks among the most important films of the year. Over the course of a single day at Oakland’s Highland Hospital, an overworked staff copes with an unending stream of under- and uninsured patients. “The Waiting Room" doesn’t simply shed light on the broken healthcare system; like the best dramas, it humbly illuminates the human condition.” – Washington City Paper (View Web site for more details.)
