CRITICAL CONDITION, a new film by Roger Weisberg, paints a gripping portrait of what happens when you’re sick and uninsured in America. The unforgettable subjects of this cinema verité film discover that being uncovered can cost them their jobs, health, homes, savings, and even their lives. The film arrives at a decisive moment, the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, when the nation is debating how to extend health insurance to all Americans.

Immediately following the 90-minute broadcast, PBS’ MacNeil/Lehrer Productions will present a half-hour special about the health care proposals of the presidential candidates, “Rx for Change.”
