The FILM: 18 Hours (2017) (Drama | 70 min)
When an accident victim is turned away from hospital after hospital, rookie
paramedic Zach and his partner Mark refuse to quit. Stuck in a speeding ambulance with the man’s desperate wife, they battle time,
bureaucracy, and a failing system to keep him alive.
Inspired by true events that shocked Kenya, 18 Hours is a gripping drama about the human cost of a broken emergency care system and the quiet heroism of those who won’t walk away.
