About the Film:
What if you called for an ambulance and one never came?
Join us for an exclusive screening of “Honorable But Broken: EMS in Crisis,” a groundbreaking documentary that delves into the systemic collapse of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) industry. Directed by Bryony Gilbey and Richard Diefenbach, this powerful film raises crucial awareness about the instability and underfunding plaguing EMS, particularly in rural areas. With unpredictable funding, a critical workforce shortage, and increasing response times, the EMS system is at a breaking point—something that will affect us all.
The Film’s Goal:
“Honorable But Broken” sheds light on the challenges EMS professionals face daily and advocates for much-needed reform. The documentary explores how many states don’t mandate EMS services, leaving funding and resources stretched thin. The film’s raw narrative is a wake-up call, showcasing the urgent need for change to support our frontline heroes.
