Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Alexis Bledel reunite on-screen this summer as the lifelong best friends audiences fell in love with four years ago. Based on Ann Brashares' best-selling series of novels about four young women who share an unbreakable bond through the unpredictable events of their lives, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" catches up with Tibby, Carmen, Bridget and Lena in the months following their first year of college. Having been apart all year, their plans for the summer will take them even further along separate paths as each experiences the freedom, love, choices and challenging life lessons that mark their individual journeys toward adulthood. Now, it will take more than a hurried note or even a treasured pair of pants passed back and forth among them to keep their lives connected.

Between 46 and 50 million Americans have no health insurance, and the numbers continue to grow. Last year alone approximately 2.2 million lost their coverage. In just the time it will take to watch this film, 377 more Americans will become uninsured. Most tragically, 22,000 Americans will die this year because they lack health insurance. A bracingly honest documentary, Critical Condition investigates America's worsening health care crisis by following a diverse group of uninsured individuals as they battle critical illnesses without adequate medical care. It is through their eyes and words that we are taken through the gaping holes in the health care system, where care is often delayed or denied. Ultimately, the unforgettable subjects of Critical Condition discover that being uninsured can cost them their jobs, health, homes, savings, and even lives. A few sobering statistics reinforce these disturbing personal stories -- the most compelling, perhaps, are those that illustrate the enormous cost in dollars and human suffering that we pay by denying sick patients access to routine primary care. Through intimate stories that illuminate the emotional, financial, and medical impact of battling illness without insurance, Critical Condition sends a subtle yet deeply foreboding message about the alarming state of the American health care system.
