Paramedico poster

Released in 2012, Paramedico is a notable film directed by Benjamin Gilmour.

What it’s about. Paramedico is an observational documentary following emergency ambulance workers in four diverse locations Mexico, Pakistan, Venice and Hawaii. The camp, military style of Pakistans rescue teams, with their marching and theatrical disaster exercises are a world away from the relaxed beachside work of the Hawaiians who stop for ice-cream at every turn. On the other side of the globe, above the romantic canals of Venice, ambulance doctors and nurses watch a generation of old Venetians quietly die as tourists pass below. Meanwhile, Mexican paramedics put their mind off the terror of the countrys drug war with their on-station games and madcap antics.
