Stolen Time, a compelling new feature-length documentary film on the urgent crisis in the for-profit nursing-home sector, follows HSH elder rights lawyer Melissa Miller and hundreds of aggrieved families as they take on an industry notorious for its lack of transparency and accountability.
The film provides a unique inside look at a legal battles and an emerging movement seeking reform and justice for vulnerable Canadian seniors. This shocking yet inspirational story is a call to action for a country with an aging population.
Stolen Time premieres in Toronto on April 2, 2024, and April 3, 2024 at 6:30pm at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema. Presented as part of the Doc Soup screening series, festival organizers describe Melissa, her clients and other advocates appearing in the film as “a rare source of hope in the often-heartless corporate care business.”

HSH has always been immensely proud of Melissa’s work on behalf of victims of nursing home negligence. Her participation in Stolen Time will introduce this inspiring lawyer and elder rights activist to an even wider audience. We believe viewers will be motivated to support a growing movement that seeks to bring justice to those harmed by an industry that too often puts profits over people.
