On what seems like an ordinary day, a young doctor faces an unexpected challenge that disrupts her routine. As she struggles to protect a young child from the dysfunctional healthcare system, she risks her career and her own well- being. Trained to accept the flaws of the system, the doctor is forced to confront a deeper, more personal question: can one individual make a change, or is it necessary to have support from others?

I hope that more people will see Joyland, understand the situation, and eventually change themselves and society so we can have a more accommodating world where everyday tragedies like the one depicted in the film do not occur.
This Netflix series is a remake based on the book series of the same name with a more diverse main cast.
Disney has cleverly managed to dance around the misdeeds of their past by scraping by with an insincere action that does very little to incite any long-lasting positive changes.
All in all, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a film I would recommend. It promotes the bond of sisterhood, which in this case is clearly thicker than blood, as well as courage. No one truly knows how strong they are until they go through something unimaginable and come out changed for the better.
