9000 Needles

documentary

Pretty interesting piece on an athlete who suffers a brain stem bleed, loses most of his faculties, runs out of insurance and heads to China for a 12 week acupuncture treatment. Which helps. By the end of the program he has regained much of what he lost and appears to be well on the road to recovery.

This film forces us to question the easy assumptions about traditional medicine we have been taught. Central to the program was the caring supportive attitude conveyed by the staff of this institution...a more holistic approach to healing than pills.

Thought provoking.
