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 \n\n\n	From the archive:
