The Waiting Room

Hi all - quick diversion for you: Just read about this documentary shot at local safety net facility Highland Hospital in Oakland - sounds powerful. Here is review/commentary from NYT http://movies.nytimes.com/2012/09/26/movies/the-waiting-room-about-highland-hospital-by-peter-nicks.html?hpw Looks like playing in SF at Sundance Kabuki on/around October 19th - might be worth a field trip....

I'm up for seeing this either in Oakland or at Kabuki. Anyone else?

I would love to get an inside look at what happens in the safety net hospitals on a daily basis. I am definitely interested in going.

I'd love to see this! Sounds like we have a lot of options about when and where to go. How about 4:30 or 7pm on Friday 10/19, at the Grand Lake Theater? 4:30 could maximize the # of us who are able to go (considering folks commuting from farther away), since we'll all likely be in the east bay for class anyway. We could find somewhere nearby for a bite to eat or a drink afterwards, too!
