Description:

One mother's fight to save her daughter's life from a dysfunctional and inhumane government system. 'A Crisis of Care' knocks down the walls of silence to provide an unblinking insider's look into the shattered state of California's prison health care system. Framed by deeply personal interviews and a stirring original musical score, this gripping one-hour show tells the story of Gina Muniz and her mother Grace. It's a story of hope and despair; courage and resolve, as one California family fight's to save the life of a daughter, a mother, a sister and a friend.
