InHospitable follows patients and activists as they band together in an effort to stop UPMC, a multi-billion-dollar nonprofit hospital system, from making vital care unaffordable for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable patients in western Pennsylvania. Few are aware that in the past several years many nonprofit hospitals around the country have been building healthcare empires and amassing huge amounts of wealth and political power at the expense of the surrounding residents. The story of InHospitable illustrates this alarming trend and turns the lens on the seemingly unwinnable battle between the Goliath UPMC and the patients, hospital workers, community activists, labor leaders, journalists, and politicians -- almost all of them women -- who built a grassroots movement to literally fight for their lives.

Sep 29, 2022 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix InHospitable is an unsettling but necessary warning to anyone concerned about U.S. health care. This enlightening documentary shows what can happen when non-profit hospitals act like greedy corporations that care more about profits than patients. Nov 5, 2022 Full Review Owen Gabbey Pittsburgh City Paper The film is ostensibly about the nation’s dearth of affordable healthcare, and how a series of nonprofit hospitals seemingly made more profit than ever before... However, despite a national reach, the focus lies primarily at the feet of Pittsburgh. Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
