Triage - Dr. James Orbinski´s Humanitarian Dilemma

Triage: Dr. James Orbinskis Humanitarian Dilemma follows the powerful odyssey of James Orbinski, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of Doctors Without Borders, as he returns to Africa to ponder the meaning of his lifes work and the value of helping others.

Drawing on a lifetime of experience deep in the trenches of genocide and famine, this extraordinary man relives the triumphs and tragedies of relief work in Somalia, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Triage will unsettle and move as it pointedly asks disturbing questions at the heart of the humanitarian dilemma. What can any one individual really do to bring peace to those who suffer? Where does humanitarianism end and raw politics begin? How does the sight of unspeakable evil affect the soul? This remarkable film from the team behind the Emmy Award-winning Shake Hands with the Devil provides no easy answers, but celebrates the best in the human spirit while staring unblinkingly at the worst.

Bristling with energy, Triage brings the causes and cures of conflict into sharp focus through Orbinskis unflinching, fearless perspective.
