Official Selection Sundance Film Festival

"Two thumbs Up! Extraordinary!"
- Roger Ebert

"Cogent, convincing, determinedly non-ideological, ESCAPE FIRE tells us
that everything we think we know about that incendiary topic might be wrong."

- Kenneth Turan, LA Times

“Turns an unwieldy, Medusa-headed topic into a convincingly humane argument
for change...This hard-hitting film leaves us finally more hopeful than despairing."

- Jeannette Catsoulis, NY Times Critic's Pick
Escape Fire
Award-winning ESCAPE FIRE tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: how can we save our badly broken healthcare system? This film follows dramatic human stories and leaders fighting to transform healthcare at the highest levels of medicine, industry, government, and even the US military. ESCAPE FIRE is about finding a way out. It's about saving the health of a nation.
