This academic year, along with other seminars, The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center is organizing a “Peace Film Series”. Three (3) peace and conflict-related films will be shown each semester.
3. Film Screening – Friday, Sept. 25 @ 5:30pm
Filmed in the war-zones of Liberia and Congo with unprecedented
access to the field operations of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins
Sans Frontières (MSF), LIVING IN EMERGENCY follows four volunteer
doctors as they struggle to provide emergency medical care under
extreme conditions. This film is an excellent opportunity to
consider humanitarianism in the context of war and conflict.

Ethical Journey of Doctors Without
Borders.
8. Film Screening – Monday, Nov. 2 @ 5:30pm
The film provides a glimpse-often a very positive one-into an
Africa few have seen. It attempts to break stereotypes
associated with people who live in extreme poverty while
depicting sports as a tool that could be used to prevent
violence among at-risk youth.

13. Film Screening – Tuesday, Dec. 1 @ 5:30pm
In the desolate borderlands of the American Southwest, hundreds of
undocumented immigrants die every year while attempting to cross into the
United States from Mexico. In response, volunteers are caching water
supplies along the migratory trails and others are imagining cell phones
running geo-poetic trail-finding software promising to lead migrants to
water. Through the voices of those who have crossed, those who have failed,
and those who are trying to prevent more deaths, a complex picture of the
immigration crisis emerges.
