Big Charity
The Death of America's Oldest Hospital
This acclaimed documentary shares the untold story of Charity Hospital - an iconic New Orleans institution which was closed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Through firsthand accounts of hospital employees who withstood the storm, as well as interviews with key players involved in the flood's aftermath, the film raises a troubling question - was the decision to close New Orleans' functioning hospital for the poor driven by the opportunity to use Katrina FEMA money for something new?
