American Heart





In this award-winning feature-length documentary, a primary care clinic in Minnesota becomes a crossroads for embattled refugees and their devoted doctors. We get a glimpse of the failing health and remarkable lives of Lem Thor, a former political prisoner from Cambodia; Patrick Junior, a member of an oppressed ethnic minority in Burma; and Alex Gliptis, an Ethiopian refugee suffering from PTSD, diabetes and HIV.
