The ballpark’s beauty is truly appreciated through the eyes of a seven-year-old who dashes into the grandstands for the first time, absorbing the enormity of the left-field “Green Monster,” and obsessively staring at the anonymous relief pitcher playing catch in right field. Fenway Park awes with its present, regardless of the unjust proportion of Red Sox joys to sorrows...

The film is "not just an indictment of an indefensible healthcare industry in the U.S.," says CAN's executive director Rose Ann DeMoro.
