The Ramp
© Andrea Luka Zimmerman
Synopsis
Won 1st prize at 'Reelhealthstories', a competition judged by Ken Loach and David Morrissey (July 4th, 2010).
The Ramp shows Jeff's struggle to get a ramp fitted at the entrance to his council flat, so he can leave his home with the help of a wheelchair. The money all in place, the ramp delayed for a year due to bureaucratic stumbling blocks about permissions not granted to extend a ramp into a parking space of the estate where Jeff's flat is located.
A once independent and vivacious man is reduced to confinement in his home for over 6 months while the authorities argue about his status, until he dies. Made as a 5 minute short for 'reelhealthstories', to be shown to medical students about the actual impact of their recommendations, and the human cost of agencies working cross side each other.
