project is a collaborative film shot in over 40 countries in under 9 weeks, on a shoestring budget - with the goal of showing the enormous diversity of places, faces and endeavors of humanitarian aid workers in 2010.

Living In Emergency

For the first time in its history, a film crew has been allowed access to the field operations of the world largest medical NGO—Doctors Without Borders. Filmed in the war zones of Liberia and Congo, “Living in Emergency” follows four volunteer doctors as they struggle to provide emergency care in extreme conditions. Amidst the chaos, each volunteer must confront the severe challenges of the work, the tough choices and the limits of their own idealism. (www.livinginemergency.com)
