While training as a registrar, 26 yr old junior doctor Daniel Nour becomes keenly aware of the people on the streets around the hospital in obvious need of medical attention. So, in 2020, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He converts a van, equips it with supplies, and starts treating people on the side of the road.
Today, in amongst some of Sydney’s most wealthy and privileged suburbs, where the gap between rich and poor has never felt more acute, Daniel runs an army of volunteer doctors and nurses giving-up their time five nights a week to people around the city as part of Streetside Medics.
Beneath Sydney’s luminous cityscape, the nocturnal world of Streetside is a space where patients and medical volunteers are brought together by this mobile medical van. A world where time runs slower, where humans come together and care for each other, without judgement or shame. It becomes a powerful force for change in the lives of all involved.
At the heart of the story is Daniel as he struggles to balance his his demanding career, his new family responsibilities and the need to expand the Streetside service to meet the growing demand across the country. As his profile grows, Daniel is forced to look inwards to discover what truly gives his life purpose.
