Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders

Running time: 93 mins

In the maelstrom that is war torn Liberia and Congo, a small group of dedicated volunteer doctors works to perform miracles.

After 15 years of a devastating civil war, Liberia is basically left with no medical infrastructure, while the Congo has collapsed into its own that has left over 4,000,000 people dead. The riveting Living in Emergency follows four members of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Doctors Without Borders on their missions to ?pro¬vide emergency medical care to populations in distress.?

With more narrative drive, dramatic power, suspense and emotional involvement than any fictional film, this astonishing documentary, whose world premiere at the Venice Film Festival resulted in a tear¬ful, heartfelt standing ovation, will transfix you with its story of these men and women, as they struggle against crushing workloads, dangerously inadequate conditions, chaos and carnage ? saving lives while facing ?challenges, tough choices, and the limits of their own idealism.?
