Episode 89: Bringing Out the Dead

Frank Pierce is a man haunted by the Ghosts of his past. Making a living as an EMT in New York during the 90s, Frank struggles to find ways to cope with the highs and the lows of a job that he cannot quit or get fired from. This dark and oddly beautiful film from director Martin Scorsese explores the moral relativism that goes hand in hand with being a compassionate member of a society that has little to no safety net for those who are most vulnerable.
