The American Nurse

At no time in recent history has the vital role of nurses in America been so clear. To honor America's nurses on the front lines of the COVID-19 response, Carolyn Jones Productions has partnered with Fresenius Kabi, founding sponsor of The American Nurse Project, and Kino Lorber, distributor of all three of our films, to launch free streaming of "The American Nurse" now through May. No subscription or login is required. 

THE AMERICAN NURSE documentary (www.americannurseproject.com) highlights the lives of five American nurses from diverse specialties, bringing to the big screen a sincere look at the commitment, necessity, and compassion behind this profession that impacts us all. 

The film’s free release is made possible by Fresenius Kabi, which also supported the development of the film and related book, and whose purpose is to put lifesaving medicines and technologies in the hands of nurses and others who care for patients, and to find answers to the challenges they face. 

THE AMERICAN NURSE is a critically acclaimed film that received a 100 percent Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Hollywood Reporter film critic John DeFore called it “a compassionate and psychologically revealing doc.” The New York Times film critic Anita Gates called it “elegantly clear-eyed.” And Katie Couric devoted a show to the nurses in the film on her nationally-syndicated daytime talk show Katie. 

“Nurses matter now more than ever. They are on the frontlines of our health care system every single today. At some point in our life each of us will encounter a nurse, whether it be as a patient or as a loved one,” said filmmaker and photographer Carolyn Jones, director of THE AMERICAN NURSE. “And that one encounter can mean the difference between suffering and peace; between chaos and order. With nurses risking their lives today responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, I am so glad that we are able to make the film available to people in their homes for free.”
