The top Public Health movies: Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders

This is a documentary about doctors working for the organisation “Doctors Without Borders“ (MSF). It highlights the damage that war can do to fragile health systems (ie, in Liberia and the Congo). It very clearly shows the stresses on doctors working in such situations. There is a lot of smoking by some of the doctors – but at the end one has reportedly quit.
