NCM Fathom will present the documentary Living in Emergency
in nearly 450 theatres nationwide on Dec. 14. The film centers on
four doctors from the Nobel Peace Prize-winning independent
humanitarian aid organization Doctors Without Borders, and will be
followed by a live panel discussion moderated by ABC News “20/20”
anchor Elizabeth Vargas from the Skirball Center for the Performing
Arts at New York University.
Panelists will include Perfect Storm author and Vanity
Fair contributing editor Sebastian Junger, Dr. Tom Krueger, and
Sophie Delaunay, executive director of Doctors Without Borders
USA.
“With this live, one-night event, we want to give thousands of
people across the country the opportunity to go beyond the
headlines of today’s humanitarian crises, and get an inside look at
the operations of Doctors Without Borders through the perspective
of four of our doctors,” said Delaunay. “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.”
