Doctors Without Borders, which was set up in 1971 by doctors and journalists in France, is a humanitarian (慈善的) organization also known as its French name, Médecins Sans Frontières, and handles emergencies caused by wars, infectious diseases and natural disasters. Today, the group provides humanitarian medical aid in more than 70 countries. Over 90 percent of its money comes from private sources. In 1999, the group received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders is a documentary by the movie director Mark Hopkins. It tells the stories of four doctors and their voluntary work in Liberia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mr. Hopkins and his crew filmed the doctors working under some of the most extreme and dangerous conditions.
Doctor Tom Krueger from the United States in the film volunteered in Liberia in 2003, after two civil wars. He said, “It was pretty much of a shock when I got here. You can’t describe the feeling of the heat in your body and the sweat running down your back, and the smell of the pus (脓) that hits your nose and of unwashed bodies in a closed room.”
Another doctor in the film, Australian Chris Brasheer, has been with Doctors Without Borders for nine years. He has served in the Democratic Republic of Congo and spent time in Liberia. He said, “No water, no electricity, no food — pretty apocalyptic really.”
Doctor Chiara Lepora from Italy also appears in the film. She spent several years working with the group. She said, “I will probably return. There are a lot of doctors who are willing to volunteer once, but not many doctors who are willing to repeat their experience.”
