Storyline
Life, death, and drama at 20,000 feet. SKYMED is a one hour drama about the intense personal
lives of the young nurses and pilots flying air ambulances in remote Northern Canada. Young
pilots barely out of flight school flock to the North to build hours, while young nurses are
drawn to the gig for the high-intensity experience – and the cash. They’re all in over their
heads – and trying to leave something about their old lives behind. A character drama wrapped
in high stakes medical adventure, SKYMED offers a rarely seen look into the world of First
Responders in Canada’s far north (where help – and survival – are literally thousands of miles
away) as a backdrop to explore the triumphs, screw ups, hook ups, heartbreaks and
breakdowns of a diverse cast of young people learning to grow up in extraordinary
circumstances.
