NCM Fathom hosts Doctors Without Borders live event

Nov 19, 2009

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.”
