Additional Information
Everybody’s Work: Healing What Hurts Us All is a compelling documentary that explores the challenges of implicit bias and racism within the nursing profession — and the urgent need to address these issues in order to provide equitable, culturally responsive care. Through the voices of nurses, educators, and healthcare leaders, the film reveals how systemic inequities and unexamined bias can impact patient care, workplace culture, and community trust.
At its core, the documentary challenges viewers to reflect, engage, and take action — showing that healing racial harm in healthcare is not just the work of a few, but truly everybody’s work. By confronting these barriers, the nursing profession can lead the way in building more just, inclusive systems that improve outcomes for all patients.
