SUMMARY:Film: Triage\, Dr Orbinski’s Humanitarian Dilemma
DESCRIPTION:Join for a special documentary film screening of “Triage\, Dr. James Orbinski’s Humanitarian Dilemma”. \nTRIAGE follows the powerful odyssey of James Orbinski\, a humanitarian\, Nobel Peace Prize-winning doctor\, and former head of Doctors Without Borders\, as he returns to Africa to ponder the meaning of his life’s work and the value of helping others. Drawing on a lifetime of experience deep in the trenches of genocide and famine\, this extraordinary individual relives the triumphs and tragedies of relief work in Somalia\, Rwanda\, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The film will unsettle and move as it pointedly asks disturbing questions at the heart of the humanitarian dilemma. \nWhat 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? Smartly directed by Patrick Reed\, this remarkable film provides no definitive answers\, but celebrates the best in the human spirit while staring unblinkingly at the worst. \nOrganized by the Consulate General of France in Atlanta and the Georgia Tech Center For Health and Humanitarian Systems (CHHS)\, this documentary film screening will serve as a link between the health and humanity issues addressed during the 2019 France-Atlanta Humanitarian Forum (November 8) and the CHHS Health Systems Next Generation Forum (November 12). Don’t Miss These Events! \n__\nThis event is part of #FranceAtlanta2019! \nCreated in 2010 by the Consulate General of France in Atlanta and Georgia Tech\, France-Atlanta is a series of events centered on innovation and designed to foster cooperation between France and the U.S. Southeast. \nDiscover this year’s events☞ https://france-atlanta.org

SUMMARY:Luncheon and Discussion with Colombian Ambassador Francisco Santos
DESCRIPTION:“Colombia – United States Relations: Today and Tomorrow” \nColombia is one of the oldest democracies in Latin America. The United States and Colombia share a commitment to promoting security\, prosperity\, and democratic governance in Colombia and across the Western Hemisphere. Today though a vibrant democracy and a growing market oriented economy\, Colombia under the guidance of President Ivan Duque’s government faces major internal and external challenges\, and the Venezuelan crisis has added a layer of civic turmoil to a nation already facing monumental challenges. \n \nAccording to the United Nations\, 1.4 million Venezuelans have fled to Colombia. Historically\, Colombia has always been generous with its neighbor\, Venezuela\, but a half century of dealing with internal insurrection has diminished its capacity to deal with one of the worse humanitarian crises in regional history.\n \nAbout Ambassador Francisco Santos: \nAmbassador Santos is a former Vice President of Colombia (2002-2010); journalist\, political\, and citizen participation activist. \nHead of national debate of the Democratic Center Party in 2017\, he ran for Mayor of Bogota on the Democratic Center Party ticket in 2015. He created the Fundación Confianza Colombia\, promoting democracy and citizen participation in public affairs\, as well as developing ideas in the political\, economic and social spheres. \nAs Vice President during the Uribe administration\, his policy priorities were the fight against corruption\, extortion and kidnapping and ridding the country of anti-personnel mines. In that role\, he also led Colombia’s international promotion of trade\, investment and tourism. \nDue to threats from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)\, he was exiled in Madrid\, Spain\, for two years (2000-2002). Previous to that\, in 1990 Santos was kidnapped for eight months on orders from drug trafficker Pablo Escobar. He founded the world’s first NGO against kidnapping\, Fundación País Libre and promoted the Anti-Kidnapping Statute\, the first and\, to date\, only law proposed and tabled by public petition via signature collection in Colombia. \nLunch is provided with registration.
