Cinema Paradiso: Después del huracan (Five Days at Memorial) / Carlton Cuse & John Ridley (Creadores)

 Miniserie basada en hechos reales, narra el impacto del huracán Katrina y sus secuelas en un hospital de la zona. Cuando subieron las aguas, se cortó la electricidad y el calor se disparó, los exhaustos trabajadores de un hospital de Nueva Orleans, en especial la Dra. Anna Pou (Farmiga), se vieron obligados a tomar decisiones que después los perseguirían durante muchos años... 

Adaptación del libro de la periodista ganadora del Premio Pulitzer Sheri Fink.

“Five Days at Memorial” is about as bleak as television gets. The series is meant to be that way; based on a non-fiction book by Sheri Fink, it’s set in a hospital during the direct aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As a medical thriller, it’s extremely compelling. As a true story, it’s almost overwhelmingly punishing and nearly entirely devoid of hope. Still, its suffocating mood isn’t purposeless: “Five Days at Memorial” forces viewers to bear witness to the realities of what being in New Orleans in 2005 likely felt like in a way few other pieces of media ever have before.

 The eight-episode series takes place almost entirely at Memorial Medical Center, a hospital that held thousands of patients and staff members when the hurricane hit on August 29, 2005. By September 11th of that year, 45 bodies were discovered in the hospital chapel. The show details both the increasingly unbearable five days staff and patients spent trapped in the hospital after Katrina hit, and the aftermath, which saw the alleged actions of one doctor heavily scrutinized by the public.
