| | Baghdad ERSynopsis: The 86th Combat Support Hospital (CSH) - the US Army's premier medical facility in Iraq and formerly one of Saddam Hussein's elite hospitals - is the setting for this unforgettable documentary that puts a human face on the war's cold casualty statistics. Directed by Jon Alpert, the film profiles the doctors and nurses at the 86th who fight to save wounded soldiers who are Medevaced (helicoptered) in on a numbingly routine basis. In addition to capturing the drama of victims and caregivers in the ER, the film provides vivid frontline rescue footage with the Air Ambulance Team along with tension-filled scenes of soldiers patrolling what is considered the most dangerous road in the world: the five-mile highway from the Baghdad Airport to the CSH. |
