The Little will screen The Providers (Laura Green, Anna Moot-Levin, U.S. 2018, 85 min.) followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Mary Tantillo, and Richard Kreipe (MD, FAAP, FSAM, FAED) as part of the Indie Lens Pop-Up series.

Set against the backdrop of the physician shortage and opioid epidemic in rural America, The Providers follows three "country doctors" in New Mexico at clinics offering care to all, regardless of ability to pay. As their personal struggles at times reflect those of their patients, the providers work to reach rural Americans who would otherwise be left without healthcare.
