The film shows there are lots of patient every-day and not enough resources during the war. MSF are working many hours a day, and keep working many days without have a good rest. They are working under big pressure. At the beginning, they are sad and lost when they faced to the death, and after that they get used to it. For example, there many people injured because of the shooting, and MSF have to decide how to do the operation and work effectively with using simple instrument.

When I see the movie, I was questioned that are the MSF are always keep helping one areas, and how long they can help. After research, I have found the projects that MSF closed are depends on the specific project and it is always a difficult decision. For example, some projects in Liberia are closed because of after many years, they had improved the emergency and health services.

There are also Medical issues offer by MSF, and they provide services within basic vaccination, maternal, pediatric care, fighting neglected diseases and complex surgery.

There are many ways to support MSF, within Foundation support, corporate support and so on.

The film portrayed the far-flung MSF experience offer people who suffered in Democratic Republic of Congo and post-conflict Liberia. They have to make decisions of who going to save because of the limited resource.  Besides, they have to balance and fixed their own mentality when watching amount people dying every-day. Kiara Lepora who was the Emergency Coordinator in the mission, have mentioned that Liberia is like a big car accident, but they might cannot do something for help the people. She thought she could do well before arriving, and she said was not in to aftermath.  I think they are all doing their best for helping people in the mission, and the problem is they are not as individual, they cannot stay there forever. They need to balance the thinking that they are work as a team as MSF, and it will keep going forward.

The film show MSF daily life, and difficulties they meet. As well as the personal narrative reveals their inner thoughts and emotions. There are some scientific information is provided. For example, Dr Tom Krueger doing an operation for a man who was shot on the head, and the description of the situation within scientific information. The film have emotional appeal which are struggle, sad and complexity. The music of the film and each characters’ emotions are revealed.

The end of the film shows the party before Kiara Lepora leaving. They have the meeting with local doctors and nurses, and they said MSF being there, work and then leave. A people said in the party, ‘I was told people over and over again, do not get used to any expatriate. As they go, other people come. And, do not expect any expatriate to come and stay forever. The work must go on. MSF’s work must go on. We told people that MSF is not about individuals. MSF is about everybody. The work must go on.’ It is a struggle parts for MSF, they want to help more people as they can, but they know they cannot stay there forever, they need to get it done and go back home. I agree and understand what the person said ‘MSF is not about individuals, and the work must go on’, it is most comfort words for each doctors and people who have been through the tough time. This is the most compelling part, because it is not only about the work, but also the human nature and feelings.
