Hi!
I saw an original TNT movie called "14 Hours" advertised today. I did a search and it's on April 3rd (Sunday) @ 8PM EST. I'm in Mountain time so that's always a challenge. PLUS daylight savings time (and our local guide sometimes takes a week to correct itself..ugh!) will start that day.
I see Kris Kristofferson, Rick Schroder and JoBeth Williams star in it. Unsure if it'll interest anyone but FYI....
Q: What did you like about 14 HOURS?
A: The idea of 14 HOURS started for us when a colleague brought me an article that was written about this disaster, and I suggested we talk to some of the nurses and doctors and see what happened. What we discovered from the very beginning, and what appealed to me even then, was that these real nurses and doctors really were unified by this experience.
They all told the same story, they all really touted each other and it was a story about teamwork and community. They don't look at themselves as heroes. Here are these quiet, unsung heroes who popped up and took initiative and saved these patients. That's what sparked me from the very beginning. As we got into it, it really was about loss of technology and what happens in a situation when you lose those everyday things that we so depend on, such as, in this case, the tiny machine that dispenses medication or the ventilators. These nurses and doctors, especially the nurses, had to go back to their basic training. It became a story about human compassion and human sacrifice and the kindness of other people.
