Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders (2008)

In the war-zones of Liberia and Congo, four volunteers with Doctors Without Borders struggle to provide emergency medical care under extreme conditions. With different levels of experience, each volunteer must find their own way to face the challenges, the tough choices, and the limits of their idealism. "Living in Emergency" is a window into the seldom portrayed and less-than glamorous side of humanitarian aid work. It explores a world that is challenging, complex, and fraught with dilemmas - the struggles, both internal and external, that aid workers face when working in war zones and other difficult contexts.

The documentary's title makes it sound like a hagiographic look at saintly doctors in war zones, but Living takes off the halos and keeps them off.

Documentarian Mark Hopkins does not try to exploit emotions, and he doesn't need to. You're left in the position of one exhausted doctor who asks: how can you not do something when you know so much needs to be done?

A somewhat interesting, although not surprising documentary. A bit redundant throughout - however, given the topic; once you've first shown the sadness, frustration and anxiety, how can you build on that? Basically, a sad commentary on the need for a few to attempt miracles when, we as a world community should decide to cure this insane situation... Thanks goodness this film will probably only be shown in a few smaller "art" theaters... Heaven forbid, a mainstream audience will ever see it! (That's just a bit "tongue in cheek").

With limited resources, the MSF is compelled to fly from crisis to crisis, and there is never any real closure. The film shows us the anger and disbelief of those left behind.

Rather than going in depth, "Living in Emergency" is loaded with examples to demonstrate various ways it is difficult to treat people in poor countries as a doctor who is used to the clinical endowment afforded by wealthy economies. It's so demoralizing, most volunteer doctors don't ever do more than one trip. The movie is perhaps too spread out, following four doctors in four different hospitals and hardly adventuring out from their management of chronic frustrations at day-to-day limitations and defeats, but it succeeds in showing us both the emotional toll of being such a doctor and why some are still able do it anyway.
