Susie really understands the power of storytelling. This film promises to pack a much-needed gut punch that will force the public to look at our health-care system that is literally collapsing around us.

They are fiscally sponsored by The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care which provides them a 501(c)(3) status.
