See This Movie

I watched this documentary, "Living In Emergency" with my brother a few nights ago and I was at a loss for words. This documentary about Medecins San Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) IS AMAZING. The reason I liked it so much wasn’t because it glorified the doctors that undertake the medical mission, but rather the opposite. The realistic depiction of how difficult practicing medicine can be in situations in Africa and very needy/violent war torn communities around the world really opens your eyes to what daily life in parts of the world are like. Ultimately it really shows you the tragic fallacy of what trying to help people can be, that sometimes your work goes unrecognized and opposed. On a lighter note I really think it inspires a realistic inclination to help around the world, at least it did for me, granted me seeing this is a little like shooting fish in a barrel.
