Immersion stories

First and foremost: the film that made me look at the nursing profession differently.

"On the Front Line" is one of those films you don't really leave when the credits roll. I left the theater deeply moved, with the feeling of having finally glimpsed what happens behind a hospital room door, an urgent call, or a few minutes of waiting: the burden, the risk, the patience, and the immense responsibility of the nursing profession. On paper, the premise might seem almost ordinary: following a nurse during a shift. This is precisely where Petra Volpe's film is remarkable. It doesn't seek easy heroism or medical sensationalism. It shows a professional.
