Description

Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Avrich (Without Precedent: The Supreme Life Of Rosalie Abella) chronicles the incredible history of Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital, from its humble beginnings to the powerhouse of life-changing care and research it is today. More than 100 years ago, in the face of prejudice and antisemitism, the dream of building an inclusive hospital in Toronto lived with four immigrant women who defied the odds and banded together for the betterment of their community. Nominated for the Donald Brittain Award for Best Social / Political Documentary Program in the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards.
