"In this article, we describe examples of structural violance upon people living with HIV in the US and Rawanda. In both cases, we show that it is possible to address structural violance through structural interventions."

"Susceptabiliy to infection [by HIV/AIDs] and poor outcomes is aggrivated by social factors such as poverty, gender inequality, and raceism."

"by insisting that our services be delivered equitably, even physicians who work on the distal interventions characteristic of clinical medicine have much to contribute to reducing the toll of structural violance."

This film is designed to have an emotional appeal. Very little scientific evidance is provided, and most of what we see are images and naratives about the effects of ebola from the public's perspective. Powerful images and stories, such as the death of a pregnant women on the side of the road, the closing of hospitals, and the turning away of patients are predominantly displayed. Much of this movie is told from the perspective of a student of the University of Wisconsin, and there was a large amount of dialouge about how he tried to get his family out of the effected zone. The only notable statistics given in the film was at the end, when the number of effected and the number of deaths were compared.
