Reflections on Practice: Pregnant Users

The scouts

One minute of a street nurse's quiet refusal to moralise about pregnant drug users—it's almost too subtle to register as subversive, but that's exactly what makes it work; the film's real rebellion is in what it *doesn't* say.

Nettie Wild's restraint here sits squarely in the documentary tradition of bearing witness without intervention, a formal choice that lets the subject's dignity become the film's entire architecture.

The singular move is letting the nurse speak without editorialising her own compassion—one person's unguarded reflection becomes a complete argument about care, all in sixty seconds of patient listening.
