PATIENT Feature Documentary

Enduring love and devotion are at the heart of this sensitive portrait by documentarian Jorge Caballero. Stricken with cancer, 23-year-old Leidy is the patient. Her mother Nubia is the patient one. Nubia cares for her daughter, all the while battling a sympathetic yet overwhelmed Colombian medical bureaucracy. Her quiet grace amidst the banality of everyday life strikes an emotional chord in this beautifully crafted film about care and devotion. — Vicki Warren
