Entertainment Reviews:
3.5 stars out of 4 -- The message of ESCAPE FIRE is one you've heard before, although few want to hear it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Arranged in a handful of clear, concise chapters, "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare" turns an unwieldy, Medusa-headed topic into a convincingly humane argument for change.
New York Times

There's no question the American health care system is broken. But it's not for the reasons directors Susan Froemke and Matthew Heineman posit.

This is the movie equivalent of watching someone walk on hot coals, but for 98 minutes.

Product Description:
Filmmakers Matthew Heineman and Susan Froemke put America's broken health-care system under the microscope in this documentary highlighting the ongoing struggle for reform through personal stories of struggle, as well as interviews with noted physicians and politicians. With health-care costs on the rise and prevention measures at an all-time low, Heineman and Froemke question why the powers-that-be continue to maintain a dysfunctional status quo that favors profit over patient care, and explore the reform methods being proposed in Washington, D.C.
