BAGHDAD ER
Directed by Jon Alpert and Matthew O’Neill, 2006, 64 min
The 86th Combat Support Hospital (CSH)--the U.S. Army's premier medical facility in Iraq--is the setting for this unforgettable documentary. In addition to profiling the doctors and nurses at the 86th who fight to save wounded soldiers, the film provides vivid frontline rescue footage along with tension-filled scenes of soldiers patrolling one deadly stretch of highway. Winner of four Emmy Awards.
REDEMPTION
Directed by Jon Alpert and Matthew O’Neill, 2013, 35 min
Redemption is a documentary about New York City's canners – the men and women who survive by redeeming bottles and cans they collect from curbs, garbage cans and apartment complexes. You've seen them combing through the trash, but never got to meet them. The film is an unexpected and intimate look at post-industrial gleaners, struggling at the edge of our society.
