The doctor shortage in rural America has reached its crisis point. But at El Centro Family Health, a rural community clinic in New Mexico, three primary healthcare providers fight life-threatening illness and addiction. In a world that looks nothing like bucolic small-town America, these providers bring care to those living on the margins. The Providers is a character-driven, verite feature-length documentary.

The Providers delivers a deeply moving portrait of selflessness and dedication that feels particularly timely in this era of division between the red and blue states.
