Documentary Film, MIDNIGHT FAMILY with Director Luke Lorentzen
In Mexico City, the government operates fewer than 45 emergency ambulances for a population of 9 million. This has spawned an underground industry of for-profit ambulances often run by people with little or no training or certification. An exception in this ethically fraught, cutthroat industry, the Ochoa family struggles to keep their financial needs from jeopardizing the people in their care. The film is presented as part of Camera as Witness, a program of Stanford Arts.

A modern hero’s journey; a child of war runs the race of his life, for days cross-country, and knocks on the door of refuge.
