Paramedics: Life on the Line takes us to a place we never hope to be – the front-line of emergency medical care with the paramedics and dispatchers of British Columbia’s Emergency Health Services. This gripping ten-episode documentary series follows call-takers and crews from dispatch to the streets, as they deal with the unthinkable each day.

We see the impact they have on the health of the patients, to the paramedics themselves where minutes – even seconds – can make all the difference when life is on the line.
