It’s simply fantastic to watch the film and learn from it. The pionts mentioned the dialogue, the stories and the incidents are all real life sorties and many health care workers have been in these situations. Knowledge sharing, learning form mistakes, not being ashamed of mistakes, reporting mistakes, caring for each other starting with love and respect to human lives regardless of place of birth or color or religion or race or sex or age makes us all learning creatures. Thanks to Shams and Neil for sharing this film. It would be great if languages in Arabic, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinse, and many other languages are superimposed to make it multilingual. Part of the transformation is to respect the languages of people everywhere. Simply put excellent work.
