The Black Cross Health Collective was a group of healthcare workers who lived in Portland, Oregon.They formed after the WTO protests of 1999, as a result of seeing a need for medical care that served people who were attending direct actions, demonstrations and political protests. In the early 2000s they conducted community- supported trials to find an antidote to pepper spray. These trials resulted in an antidote that has been used in street protests internationally. Fight the Power, Do No Harm is the story of the Black Cross Health Collective.Produced and Directed by:Jodi Darby,Honna Veerkamp and Erin Yanke. |
