| Summary: | A disturbingly realistic film about a fire in a high-rise hospital. This program pulls no punches and has never dated. The issues remain the same. Designed to blast through the complacency of "it can't happen here" attitude, the docu-drama vividly portrays a series of credible events that could easily happen in a hospital, large nursing home or any high-rise complex. This film shows the terrifying speed with which flames and smoke can engulf a building and the difficulties of evacuating the seriously ill and incapacitated, especially at night with a skeleton staff and when visibility is low. The consequences are disastrous in this drama - it need not be that way. Produced by Film Australia for the Department of Veterans Affairs by Kingcroft Productions Pty Ltd. Copyright - 2011 National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. Producer: Peter Johnson Director: Brian Trenchard-Smith Writer: Anne Brooksbank, Chris McGill DOP/Cinematographer: Ross Nichols Principal Cast: Jeannie Drynan, Mark Edwards, Ray Marshall, Ralph Cotterill, Ken Goodlet |
