The new documentary "Revolutionary Medicine: A Story of the First Garifuna Hospital" tells the story of a project to build a free and holistic healthcare system on Honduras's Caribbean coast.
Built, administered and defended by the Afro-Caribbean Garifuna communities it serves, the hospital stands as an alternative to the country's increasingly privatized healthcare system.
