This film looks awesome!

Dr James Orbinski, the man who was President of MSF at the time that the organization recieved the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999, has teamed up with a host of very talented people to produce what looks to be a very compelling documentary.

After watching the sneak preview on the site, I am really excited to be able to see more. The film is named “Triage”, in reference to a system of medical sorting which is used in cases in which there are mass casualities. Patients are numbered according to their injuries, most often including rankings such as  “deceased”, “immediate”, “delayed” and “minor” aid. In the preview he refers to an incident during the Rwandan civil war in which they were forced to enforce this system due to the mass numbers of casualties and limite resources present.

The film looks to be a focus upon Dr. Orbinski’s approach to humanitarian missions and international development projects. I can’t wait to check it out!
