“We've never seen extensive film footage of what, exactly, the doctors go through on a daily basis in the war-torn countries in which they work...It's a fascinating glimpse into the work of this Nobel Peace Prize-winning group...” —Chicago Tribune, December 11, 2009

Set in war-torn Congo and post-conflict Liberia, “Living in Emergency” is a raw and real depiction of the dilemmas facing Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) staff in the field and the toll their work can take on them both personally and professionally. The film offers a rare, inside look at MSF operations through the perspective of four of our aid workers.

Faced with overwhelming medical needs in war zones, they are pushed to the edge and forced to confront the very limits of their idealism and ability to save lives. Their intensely personal experiences are emblematic of the hard choices, dilemmas, and sometimes bitter realities that MSF medical teams grapple with every day in more than 60 countries around the world.
