The Elevator Pitch

So here's the pitch. The elevator pitch.

Covid has exposed major problems in long-term hospital care, and governments are speaking openly about investing in these areas, in some instances retraining hospitality workers to take up jobs as personal support workers. In this animated half-hour series we follow five former fine dining restaurant workers -- all of them accustomed to four hundred-plus dollars a night in tips -- cleaning bedpans and sponge bathing those unable to do so themselves. Character types can be derived from James Atlas's October 1984 Atlantic Monthly article "Beyond Demographics", which, despite the years, still resonates.
