Into the Unknown

When the call comes in, paramedics never know what's waiting for them.A heart attack. A crash. A child in danger. A stranger's worst day. A life hanging in the balance.From executive producers Randolph Mantooth, Kevin Tighe, Steve Buscemi, and the director of BURN, this groundbreaking documentary spends a year with a diverse group of paramedics around the U.S. as they confront the physical danger, emotional weight, and impossible pressure of a job most people only glimpse from the side of the road.They help people through crisis. They absorb panic, pain, fear, and loss. Then they go home and try to be parents, partners, friends, and ordinary people.This is a film about the cost of saving lives, and the courage it takes to keep showing up. INTO THE UNKNOWN takes audiences inside the ambulance and beyond the uniform to reveal the human beings who risk everything when the rest of us need help most.
