Where do you think the line is between duty and self preservation?
Code 3 strips away the hero narrative and shows what constant stress, emotional pressure, and responsibility do to emergency service workers over time. It’s not about being tough enough. It’s about systems that demand everything and give very little back.
The film forces an uncomfortable question. How long can someone keep showing up before something breaks? And who is responsible when it does?
This story hits close to home for anyone who’s worked in high pressure environments or care based professions.
