    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Director Luke Lorentzen edited the film as he was shooting for 60-70 nights over the course of 3 years. By the end of 2017 a locked cut was finished and submitted to Sundance, but the film got rejected. This made Lorentzen think that there might be more of a story to tell, so he went back to Mexico City to shoot for another 2 1/2 weeks, where ultimately ~80% of what ended up in the finished film was shot.

    To the Ochoas and all other paramedics: You're all the real heroes.
    I watched this documentary at the beginning of the Corona outbreak in Europe. I can't imagine what will happen when Mexico will get hit hard like here. It's probably only a matter of months before there will be hundreds of thousands casualties over there. What a heartbreaking but also heartwarming documentary I just watched. Heartbreaking when you see that in a big country like Mexico they still can't get rid of all those corrupt people. You would think that after so many years they would do something about it but instead you still see policemen bribing people that actually try to save peoples lives. The police is supposed to serve and protect but in a country like Mexico (well not only in Mexico) those b*stards are still allowed to play their dirty games and nobody does anything about it. They should be ashamed, I just hope one day they will need an ambulance and that they leave them rotting in the streets. Heartwarming when you see the Ochoa family doing their best to save people, most of the time they just don't get paid but they still continue trying to make a difference, trying to save people abandonned by their government. It's a hard documentary, but very well made, one that makes you think that we're so lucky not to live in a country like Mexico. I don't think we realize how lucky we are sometimes. My utter respect to the Ochoa family and all other independent paramedics that try to survive in such a corrupt country, and my utter disgust for those filthy pigs not worth being called humans.
