The Connecticut Health Advancement Research Trust (CHART), the parent organization of Universal Health Care Foundation of Connecticut, invites you to see the award-winning documentary Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare.
We have two showings scheduled the first on November 26 in Hartford and a second on November 28 in New Haven.
Jill Zorn recently wrote on the Health Square blog:

A newly released documentary film, Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue Healthcare, playing in local theaters this month, provides valuable insights into what is wrong with our current system, and also offers an uplifting message of hope that our broken system of health care finance and delivery can indeed be transformed.

Part of the award-winning film’s success can be attributed to the filmmakers’ storytelling abilities. They compiled a series of deeply affecting personal stories and vignettes that go straight to the heart of the health care system’s failures and their devastating, sometimes tragic, consequences. The film spotlights how the system can be biased toward improving the balance sheets and income statements of insurers or pharmaceutical companies rather than to improving health; how we spend far too much on costly procedures and emergency room visits and far too little on prevention and wellness; how mental health needs are woefully unmet. To further explain the complexities and unintended consequences of our current system, the filmmakers present an all-star cast of health policy experts able to speak in plain, commonsense language without a lot of jargon.

Join us in Hartford on Monday, November 26, 7:30 p.m. at Bow-Tie Cinema City at the Palace, 330 New Park Ave. or in New Haven on Wednesday, November 28, 7:30 p.m. at Bow-Tie Cinema Criterion, 86 Temple St. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online through the links above. After the movie CHART will be hosting a panel discussion, which will explore how the movie relates to reform work here in Connecticut.

Use the links above to reserve your ticket today and we look forward to seeing you at the theater.
