Preview: Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders (2010)

Synopsis:

Getting behind the scenes of the noted Medcin sans Frontiers, or Doctors Without Borders, this documentary shows us just how inhospitable and dangerous working conditions are for these brave physicians.

• Poster: B

Review:

It reminds me of several war-torn features and although it's just an amalgam of images from the film, it's done in a colorful and broadly-appealing way.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Watching this documentary should be a requirement for anyone who thinks that many get into the medical professions in an effort to make money. The vital nature of the subject demands that we watch it.

Oscar Prospects:

It was a contender for last year's Oscar, but did not even earn a nomination, which is a bit surprising considering the subject.

Release Date:

• June 4, 2010
