Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare (2012)

Our healthcare system is broken. Potent forces fight to maintain the status quo in a medical industry created for quick fixes, rather than prevention; for profit-driven, rather than patient-driven, care. Healthcare is at the center of an intense political firestorm in our nation's capital. But the current battle over cost and access does not ultimately address the root of the problem: we have a disease-care system, not a health-care one. After decades of opposition, a movement to introduce innovative high-touch, low-cost methods of prevention and healing is finally gaining ground.

Provides a broad context for the health care crisis and some of the solutions being pursued. Most optimisitic is the work on prevention that the military is trialing. Still, likely to be most understood by those in the field. Challenge remains to communicate healthcare complexity to the general public.

Advocating freedom from a system that "doesn't want you to die and doesn't want you to get well," this hard-hitting film leaves us finally more hopeful than despairing.

There's no question the American health care system is broken. But it's not for the reasons directors Susan Froemke and Matthew Heineman posit.

Roger Ebert 03 Oct 2012

When we speak of "American health care," we should in fact be calling it "American sickness care." There's more money to be made in making people sick and healing them than in keeping them well in the first place. The documentary Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare makes this argument with stunning clarity.

Ben Kenigsberg 03 Oct 2012

Health care is a difficult subject to make compelling onscreen -- much less in a nonpartisan manner -- which makes Escape Fire a documentary with major breakout potential.
