Healthcare Workers Across Canada Watch Sicko for Free


Healthcare Workers Across Canada Watch Sicko for Free

Canadian health workers have a chance to watch the only documentary that will probably ever mention that Canada has a good health care system.  We all know that the quality of our health care is steadily eroding but during the one and a half hours you spend watching Sicko, you’ll falsely think we might have good health care. It may be better than that of the US, but it’s appalling compared to other developed countries. Back to the point of my post… health care workers, present a valid ID while entering the theatre and you’ll watch Sicko for free.

All regulated healthcare workers across Canada presenting valid ID (as set out below) will be able to see SiCKO for free from Monday July 23 to Thursday July 26 to further encourage members of the public to see Michael Moore’s provocative and acclaimed film.

The offer comes after The United Nurses of Alberta purchased 150 tickets to distribute to the public.  Filmmaker Michael Moore had congratulated the Union on their efforts and offered to reimburse the union for their action.  Subsequently, Alliance Atlantis* Motion Picture Distribution extended the free admission offer to all card-carrying nurses in Canada.  Over 6000 nurses accepted the invitation in just four days.  The new initiative will allow all regulated healthcare workers to get into SiCKO for free from Monday July 23 to Thursday July 26 by bringing their practice permit, license or registration card to any Cineplex Entertainment, Empire Theatre, or Landmark Cinema showing the film.

Commenting on the expanded opportunity, Jim Sherry, Executive Managing Director of Alliance Atlantis* Motion Picture Distribution said, “we’re pleased to be able to both give the opportunity for more people to see this remarkable movie and to say thank you to the healthcare community for their important contribution to the well-being of all Canadians.”

When reached for comment, Michael Moore said, “I want to thank the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario for encouraging their members to bring your political leaders to go see SiCKO.  It’s important to remind your elected officials how critical it is to protect your Medicare system established by Tommy Douglas, and the values and ideals behind it of taking care of everyone in society, no matter how rich or poor.  And it’s not like your MPs and MPPs have anything better to do on a Friday night anyway.”

SiCKO, Michael Moore’s highly acclaimed and entertaining exposé of the American healthcare system, continues to captivate audiences across the country. It is written, directed and produced by Michael Moore. The film is produced by Meghan O’Hara and co-produced by Anne Moore. Kathleen Glynn, Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein serve as executive producers.
