Living in Emergency (2008)
With unprecedented access to MSF’s field operations, “Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders”, a documentary directed by Mark Hopkins, 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.
