"Hands"
Featuring a real-life emergency services worker, our public service announcement, "Hands", has generated significant awareness for the Tema Conter Memorial Trust and the haunting effects of post-traumatic stress. Conceived, written and art directed by Impact Communications – and produced by Toronto's Geneva Film Company – the TV spot recently received a Platinum REMI Award at the 39th Annual WorldFest Film and Video Festival. Our hope is that such international recognition will further our cause to assist our everyday heroes.
For their kind support, we would like to thank Chief Bruce Farr of Toronto EMS, actor and real-life paramedic Marten Holdenreid and Lisa Scale of Bella Photography.

Violence Towards Paramedics
Broadcast October 24, 2009
Time: 28:21
They come at a moment's notice to help when you're scared and in pain. Paramedics - they're modern knights in shining armour, right? Surprisingly not everyone seems to think that. Or at least they don't always act that way. This week on White Coat, Black Art, host Brian Goldman walks a mile in the shoes of a couple of paramedics in Toronto. And some of what he saw was not pretty.
