Pittsburgh filmmaker’s doc highlights the importance of street medicine around the world

Starting in 2016, Jeff Sewald, a 62-year-old filmmaker based out of Wexford, chronicled Dr. Jim Withers’ story with his documentary film entitled Go to the People. On Aug. 22 at 7:30 p.m., that story will be shown to the public for the first time free of charge at the Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center.

“I wanted to do a film about the movement, and that’s exactly what [Dr. Withers] wanted to do, so we joined forces,” Sewald said.
