– Jeannette Catsoulis, NY Times

“Cogent, convincing, determinedly non-ideological, ESCAPE FIRE tells us that everything we think we know about that incendiary topic might be wrong.” 
– Kenneth Turan, LA Times

SYNOPSIS

ESCAPE FIRE: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: how can we save our badly broken healthcare system? ESCAPE FIRE examines the powerful forces maintaining the status quo, a medical industry designed for quick fixes rather than prevention, for profit-driven care rather than patient-driven care. The film follows dramatic human stories and leaders fighting to transform healthcare at the highest levels of medicine, industry, government, and even the US military. ESCAPE FIRE is about finding a way out. It's about saving the health of a nation.

DISTRIBUTION

ESCAPE FIRE was released by Roadside Attractions in select theaters on October 5th, 2012. Lionsgate simultaneously released the film on iTunes and VOD.
