It is a volunteer-run clinic in south Philadelphia that provides free medical care to undocumented immigrants who are in the country illegally. In this facility, doctors and nurses volunteer their time for the benefit of those who might otherwise go untreated. Puentes Clinica de Migrantes is a powerful video directed by Maxim Pozdorovkin that follows the personnel and patients of Puentes Clinic through months of routine care and development. As it progresses, the film gives a voice to the millions of people who live on the periphery of society: people who have been uprooted from their homes, separated from their families, who are unfamiliar with the local customs, who are unable to obtain health insurance, and who are afraid to come forward and seek medical attention. The film Clinica not only tells the experiences of these patients, but it also looks at the courageous doctors and nurses who work tirelessly to guarantee that these people receive care, providing a very affecting glimpse into the unlimited potential of humanity.
