Midnight Family
Directed by Luke Lorentzen
Produced by Hedgehog Films, No Ficción
A tense, intimate documentary portrait of a family business caught between survival and ethics in Mexico City's shadow healthcare system.
In Mexico City's wealthiest neighborhoods, the Ochoa family runs a for-profit ambulance, competing with other unlicensed EMTs for patients in need of urgent care. In this cutthroat industry, they struggle to keep their financial needs from compromising the people in their care.
