| Summary |
This six-part documentary series takes you inside the real-life events that Ambulance officers and paramedics face every day while on the job. Every minute of every day, someone calls an ambulance for help. This series provides a unique insight into a world only seen by ambulance officers, paramedics and emergency victims. Lipstick cameras mounted onto the hats of ambulance officers gives viewers unprecedented access into one of society's most gritty, demanding and challenging jobs that of the NSW Ambulance Service's paramedics and officers. These are very personal stories of people in stressful situations, either as a patient or a professional paramedic. Hiding nothing from the viewer, every experience the officer has will be experienced by the viewer. To achieve this, a small film crew travelled with the Ambulance officers for forty twelve-hour shifts. (Commissioned by SBS Independent, in English) PG CC WS |
