"If I could choose one film to play in the White House screening room this year, it would be 'The Waiting Room,' Peter Nicks’s magnificent documentary portrait of a hospital emergency room that eloquently portrays the faults and limitations of the American health care system, even as it punctures some of the most toxic stereotypes surrounding it. . . . With grace, discretion and supreme tact, Nicks sweeps viewers to a climactic montage that wordlessly honors the best ways we care for one another. 'The Waiting Room' bears poetic witness to an overlooked fact: America’s health care system may be broken, but its people are anything but."
