Remote Area Medical used to provide health care to those in need in the third world. Now they set up temporary health clinics in rural America.
AP photographer Evan Vucci and I traveled to Harriman Tenn. and watched people wait in line overnight to get the most basic of medical and dental care. In the end, there were not enough volunteers to handle all of the people that showed up, and some who waited were turned away. We were told this happens at every clinic.

We shot video on the Sony PMW EX1 and Canon 5d Mark ii. We edited the video in Final Cut Pro. I composed the music in Garageband.
