The film centers around a civil rights case involving three nurses at the old Dixie Hospital in Hampton, Va. It chronicles the history of racism in hospitals and healthcare at that time and gives an in-depth look into the specifics of this case. Producer, Denetra Hampton says she wanted the project to be a conduit for a bigger conversation on structural racism in healthcare and how the civil rights movement helped pave the way for a victory in the rights of these nurses.
