Synopsis

This gripping film explores the 12 historic hours in July, 1970 when 50 members of the Young Lords stormed the dilapidated Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx, drove out the administrative staff, and made their cries for decent healthcare known to the world. They raised the Puerto Rican flag and a banner reading “The People’s Hospital” – a nom de guerre still used today.
