"A deeply moving story about one family's calling, where their desire to provide medical aide is in conflict with their own need to survive, all within a system of corruption that comes down to life and death. This harrowingly beautiful work shocks and saddens, yet the glimpses of unabashed humanity echo throughout, making the never-before-seen images shocking and moving in equal measure as actions in the dark of night are brought to light. The CUFF 2019 jury recognizes Luke Lorentzen's MIDNIGHT FAMILY with a special jury mention for its illumination and vision."
